Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address In the Style of a Pop Song

expressive painting of Abraham Lincoln as a pop star

Verse 1:
Four score and seven years before
Our fathers brought a new nation to the shore
Conceived in Liberty, dedicated to the dream
That all men are created equal, or so it would seem

Chorus:
This nation, this dream, can it really endure?
We’re in a great civil war, testing for sure
We’re on the battlefield, fighting for what’s right
Dedicating a piece of the field to the fallen tonight

Verse 2:
But in a larger sense, we can’t really consecrate
This ground, where the brave men fought and met their fate
They’ve sanctified it far beyond what we can chew
The world might not remember what we say or do

Chorus:
This nation, this dream, can it really endure?
We’re in a great civil war, testing for sure
We’re on the battlefield, fighting for what’s right
Dedicating a piece of the field to the fallen tonight

Bridge:
It’s up to us, the living, to keep pushing on
To finish the work that’s been started, to keep it strong
We take increased devotion from the honored dead
And resolve that their deaths won’t be in vain, not in this land

Chorus:
This nation, this dream, can it really endure?
We’re in a great civil war, testing for sure
We’re on the battlefield, fighting for what’s right
Dedicating a piece of the field to the fallen tonight

Outro:
This nation, under God, will birth a new freedom simple
A government of the people, by the people, for the people
It won’t perish from the earth, we won’t let it be
We’ll keep fighting for what’s right, for all to see
