The year was 1858
and everyone was talking 'bout the great debate
The tall thin man he told us straight
that right was right and wrong was wrong..
Father Abraham
The Greatest man who ever led this land
He still stands tall with his hat in his hand,
Father Abraham.
The year was 1861
He had to sneak to his inauguration
There were threats to kill him and there were guns
'cause he was gonna stand his ground
Father Abraham
The Greatest man who ever led this land
He still stands tall with his hat in his hand,
Father Abraham.
In 1800 and 63
He wrote those words and set a people free
No matter why you can't deny
That he was prepared to die ..
(alt: Said it was for soldiers to do it legally,
but it was what he always believed
but it was for eternity)
Father Abraham
The Greatest man who ever led this land
He still stands tall with his hat in his hand,
Father Abraham.
In the Spring of 1865
mean Mr. Booth he snuck had hate inside
One little bullet and he took the life
of a kind and gentle man
Father Abraham
The Greatest man who ever led this land
He still stands tall with his hat in his hand,
Father Abraham.
Here in the 21st century
it's easy to second guess history
Don't just read his words
but know his deeds
and you'll sing along with me..
