Lyrics
The house is still standing, but we've much to do
It's once more divided, we must think anew
Let us remember, and note, what he said
Take increased devotion from these honored dead
Can we be sure
That this nation can long endure?
Can we nobly save
The last, best hope of earth
Abraham Lincoln was cheerful that day
The old melancholy was melting away
The war, it was over; so now celebrate
With malice toward none, he walked into his fate
And then, oh-oh, the whole world did cry
As - oh, that one more soldier did die
In a war that seems to go on
A nation that's governed by the people
By the people
For the people
One nation for all of us
Oh-oh, will it ever be so?
Tell me, oh-oh, 'cause we need to know
If we can make this work for us all.
