This song is inspired by author Tim Ballard's new book entitled "The COVENANT, LINCOLN and the WAR." I have been deeply touched and inspired by Tim (Who actually plays the Union Captain in the music video) and also by his book. Tim is on a mission to deliver a message that he believes will have a monumental impact on America's survival, and the world : God is the author of the United States' story — and the nation's future sustainability is predicated upon citizens' reliance upon Him. This amazing song about Lincoln was written by a very talented soul by the name of Todd. D Reynolds (Who also plays the confederate Captain in the video), with a later adaptation by myself. The chorus is sung in yoruba (West African dialect) representing the cry of the african slaves, on the ships heading to America, and the verses are sung in english as told from the mouth of Lincoln who is praying desperately to his God for strength to follow through in his decision to fight for the freedom of blacks despite the possibility of death threats to his life and losing all his friends and peers. May we all be able to find in life something we are passionate about and stand up and defend it. Even if we stand alone.For updates, newsletters and concerts, sign up on Alex Boye's Website.http://www.alexboye.comFollow Alex Boye on Facebookhttp://www.facebook/alexboye.musicFollow Alex Boye on Twitterhttp://www.twitter.com/alexboye1THANKS TO ALL THE TALENTED INDIVIDUALS WHO MADE THIS VIDEO SHINE:LYRICS FOR "LINCOLN"WHY IS IT ME THAT MUST, SUFFER THE PLEA?FOR I ALONE, CANNOT SET THEM FREEBUT CAN I FULFILL, GODS OWN WILLEVEN IF MY PEOPLE, TURN ON MEWHY MUST HE ASK THIS OF ME, EVERYTHING?JUST TO HEAR FREEDOM RINGJUST TO SEE A FLAG UNFURLEDJUST TO HEAR FREEDOM RINGCHORUSERU OLORUN BA MICO SENI TO LE DA DURONOW IS THE HOUR I QUESTION HIS POWERCAN HE MAKE THESE MEN, UNDERSTAND?THAT ALL OF OUR TEARS, AND THESE HEART WRENCHING YEARS WAS THE PRICE WE PAID, FOR MANWHY MUST HE ASK THIS OF ME, EVERYTHING?JUST TO HEAR FREEDOM RING?JUST TO SEE THAT FLAG UNFURLED YEAHJUST TO HEAR FREEDOM RINGCHORUSNOW WITH THIS BOOK IN MY HANDS, I CAN SEEEVERYTHINGWritten by: Todd.
