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
Joel Chico, 2009.
