THE ASSASSINATION OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Lyrics

[INTRO]
In the shadows of the night
A nation's fate was sealed tight
April 14th, a date to recall
The assassination of one and all

[VERSE1]
Abraham Lincoln, a leader true
United the states, saw them through
The civil war, a nation's strife
He stood tall, a symbol of life

[CHORUS]
Fallen from a gunman's hand
The people's president, in a foreign land
Ford's Theatre, a tragic stage
A nation's sorrow, a turning page

[VERSE2]
John Wilkes Booth, a bitter soul
Resentment fueled, a deadly goal
The vice president, a target too
But Lincoln's fate, was sealed anew

[CHORUS]
Fallen from a gunman's hand
The people's president, in a foreign land
Ford's Theatre, a tragic stage
A nation's sorrow, a turning page

[BRIDGE]
Eight hours later, the president fell
The nation wept, a collective yell
From sea to shining sea
The news spread, a devastating spree

[HOOK]
Death took the helm, on that fateful night
Changing history, a beacon's light

[CHORUS]
Fallen from a gunman's hand
The people's president, in a foreign land
Ford's Theatre, a tragic stage
A nation's sorrow, a turning page

[OUTRO]
Now his legacy lives on
A leader's dream, though cut short, still strong
In the hearts of the people, his memory stays
Abraham Lincoln, a shining ray.
