[00:16.982]The bullets of the false revenge have struck us once again
[00:28.452]As the angry seas have struck upon the sand
[00:30.505]And it seemed as though a friendless world had lost itself a friend
[00:37.372]That was the president and that was the man.
[00:45.205]I still can see him smiling there and waving at the crowd
[00:53.572]As he drove through the music of the band
[00:59.118]And never even knowing no more time would be allowed
[01:05.584]Not for the president and not for the man.
[01:13.364]Here's a memory to share, here's a memory to save
[01:20.156]Of the sudden early ending of command
[01:27.126]Yet a part of you and a part of me is buried in his grave
[01:33.124]That was the president and that was the man.
[01:40.843]It's not only for the leader that the sorrow hits so hard
[01:47.686]There are greater things I'll never understand
[01:54.067]How a man so filled with life, even death was caught off guard.
[02:06.174]That was the president and that was the man.
[02:11.479]Every thing he might have done and all he could have been
[02:17.037]Was proven by the troubled traitors hand
[02:22.749]For what other death could wound the hearts of so many men
[02:29.317]That was the president and that was the man.
[02:37.868]Yes, the glory that was lincoln's never died when he was slain
[02:46.220]It's been carried over time and time again
[02:52.559]And to the list of honor you may add another name
[02:59.750]That was the president and that was the man.
[03:07.290]That was the president and that was the man.
