Inches Away
Only inches away from success
'Twas the chance one takes
For promoting aggressive ideas
It's become almost expected
In this day and age
But has it really been any different
Right back to Lincoln
How many other U.S. presidents
Have had their lives threatened
Or been successful in their attempt
Let me count their numbers
From Lincoln to John F. Kennedy
Many more will be selected
