Verse I
Lincoln tried to address, to address
Lincoln tried to address Gettysburg that day.
He was put to the test, make sense of this mess
Just like you and me.
When the light turns on us
Bright from darkness
Eyes need to adjust
Verse II
He took the stage and did his best, he did his best
His words were clear and focused.
On this they all agreed
Some were moved, some not impressed, not impressed, not impressed
Was it too much to digest, too simple to see?
When the light turns on us
Bright from darkness
Eyes need to adjust
Verse III
Some times they weigh more than the rest, than the rest
You need to see the forest, when all you see are trees
You trust that beating in your chest, in your chest, in your chest
Don?t look back, don?t second guess, don?t go blowing with the breeze.
When the light turns on us
Bright from darkness
Eyes need to adjust
Outro
Lincoln tried to address, to address
Lincoln tried to address Gettysburg that day.
