This short animated feature tells the life of Abraham Lincoln from
the time of his leaving Springfield. Illinois and traveling to
Washington. It is short, so gleans over much of his life. However it
does show the death of his son to a fever while he was in the White
House.
The emancipation was presented with much cheering. This
may have been true in pockets, but there were also places where people
were very much opposed to the proclamation.
The part I liked
bests was the Gettysburg Address. They presented the entire speech,
with animation of the conflict portrayed to this. It was very moving.
The
presentation goes from there, almost immediately to the funeral
procession and the train carrying Lincoln's body back to Springfield.
While he travels, this song is sung; written by Carol Lynn Pearson and
Lex de Azevedo.
One LifeOne life
Lived with courage and care
One life
Yes, that’s all that it takes
One hand
That will never be halted
One back
That the World cannot break
One Life
Lived by heavenly faith
One Life
Shining clear in the dark
One Life seeing visions of morning
One word
Igniting the spark
See how it glows
See how it grows
Changing the world
Rearranging the world
Giving hope that will stand firm and fast
When that one life is ended and past
Oh that light will burn bright and will last
Forever
Forever!
One life
Given up for cause
One soul
Oh how it will soar
One day
That will not be forgotten
One name
That will live evermore
One life
Lived with courage and care
One life
Yes, that’s all that it takes
One hand
That will never be halted
One back
That the World cannot break
See how it glows
See how it grows
Changing the world
Rearranging the world
Giving hope that will stand firm and fast
When that one life is ended and past
Oh that light will burn bright and will last
Forever
Forever!
