Across the Potomac

Across the Potomac a single figure sits 
          Looking out over the land his loved in the morning mist 
          A gentle man and tired his best you see 
          He wanted peace for this land and  once again unite the country 
          As he looks across this land and sees what we are 
          I wonder if his head is down saying a  silent prayer
