Land of the Free
Just think how
Your life would be
If it weren't for our
Country's history
All of the struggles
That we've surpassed
And the American
Pride that lasts
The many freedoms
That we share
Thanks to those
Who said "I dare"
Who took the
Challenge, and won
Just like president
Abraham Lincoln
An underdog,
He started out young
Not many supporters
Yet he got the job done
Took on a burden
With tension rising
North against South
No more compromising
An ultimatum,
Comply, or war
"A quick victory"
Each had swore
Four years of fighting
And all slaves were free
Think how that made
Life for you and me
Can't understand
The pain they endured
But now their life
And liberty was ensured
Thanks to Lincoln
Our country could now be
America,
The land of the free
