Mister Lincoln, I was thinkin’ Your burden was so great.

You were questioned. You were tortured By thoughts of people’s fate.

How could anyone do The things you had to do? Oh,

Couldn’t anyone see The path you chose to set All of us free?

A braham. Oh,

A braham. Oh,

Mister Lincoln, I was thinkin’ How history knows your name:

The derisions, The decisions That brought you so much fame.

How could anyone live The way you had to live? Oh,

Did you know you would be The one to act to set All of us free?

A braham. Oh,

A braham. Oh,

A braham. Oh,

A braham. Oh, Abraham.
