In a Pennsylvania town called Gettysburg, it's no mercy
The Union and the Confederacy clashed with might
But little did they know, a speech was about to take flight
'Fore a field of fallen soldiers, Lincoln did appear
With profound words, he wanted to make things clear
He gazed upon the graves, his heart full of pain
And delivered his famous speech, never speaking in vain
In simple words, he spoke of unity and strife
Of the brave souls who gave their young precious lives
He wanted a country united, free from hate
His speech had the power to turn the course of fate
"Four score and seven years" - words echoing still
Recalling America's birth, its noble thrill
"All men are created equal, no doubt about it"
Equality and freedom - Lincoln didn't forget
He mourned their loss with empathy, honest and true
"The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here"
But Lincoln was wrong, his words stood tall
Inspiring generations, they resonated with all
"A new birth of freedom" - those words never die
A nation reborn, united under the same sky
So let's keep his message in our hearts today
And strive for peace and harmony, come what may
