Yeah I've got the head of Abraham Lincoln Nobody knows but I'm sure they're all thinkin' What's on his mind in this time of need, The world will all watch, the children will see How a man once did die, once died for his dream
Now I don't know too much about politics But as you know all the people want more of it If only what we say on those pages are true, What the world needs now is the help from you Oh Abraham Lincoln what should we do?
Oh I can't offer much to this world you see, But don't just stand there and criticize me If you ask me one question, I'll tell you a tale That we're small specs of sand on this giant earth scale So please get out there and please don't you fail
With your top hat and your beard I know you have doubts. I know you have fears But sir aid us now, before we all go Into the depths of the holes we've made long ago What to do with our lives we just don't know
So you speak about the war, about slavery and death But what should we do about the peace we have yet To find is our need, it's our desire, our cause How many more must die until we just hit pause And realize that our answers were here all along
Well have you got an answer for me, my dear friend? We'll all sit and watch and listen to your head As it speaks of things that it never got to say Before it was all violently blown away We know that your choices will come in handy today
