Thinking Lincoln
How a little ball of molted lead
has changed our nations history
and why they shot him in his head
became a shrouded mystery
Theories popped up everywhere
no suspects were exposed
and every answer that was spoke
more questions they arose
Thirteen score, no less no more
since the last tear hit the ground
and through the years of hopes and fears
the truth was never found
I sometimes think, that's it's a plan
That the good ones must die young
and while we grieve, we must believe
they go because they're done
It is Now, up to us
to carry out His goal
even though, why He was killed
The world will never know
