Song To Abe Lincoln

We are all so special

Some don't realize, others realize it

But we won't forget or miss you

Since you're out of the hide

Trapped in the woods

Thinking no one knows of your good

Hid behind poorness

Rip it off, we see you

We will seek you out, we will find you

We will actively be behind you

You may have been poor, Abe Lincoln

But you were a genius to the White House

With him the look of never having been

We can make it up

Make you former recognize it

Buried in the dust

Buried in old books

Buried in old clothes

Buried in dirty looks

We will seek you out

We will find you

We will actively be behind you

You may have been poor, Abe Lincoln

But you were a genius to the White House

Ever will you reach out to find us being there

Bowing but never duty bound but duly are aware

In their log cabin

That now we all are

Build the one loves you

You basically want behind all

Nothing more calls you

The sense something unsensible

Yet the sensible so sensible

Teach those special goals to pervert generals

We will seek you out, we will find you

We will actively be behind you

You may have been poor, Abe Lincoln

But we'll give you the White House
