	Story Behind the Song Sitting around a roaring fire, 50 youth soccer players, boys and girls, sing along with me at the end of the day. We laugh, sing, dance, shout, do the wave... you name it. But when the last song is sung it's Abe Lincoln and the power of hope that lingers through the night... Lyrics Abe Lincoln was a captain at the start of the BlackHawk War Was demoted to a private by the end of the battle’s roar As a young man Thomas Edison was told he was much too slow So his mother took him out of school and she taught her boy at home So don’t you stop your dreaming when things go wrong for you Might just be another try before your dreams come true After one show he was fired, Elvis you are out of luck The manager of the Opry said go back to drivin a truck They rejected Dr. Suess’s book all 37 times The 38th good publisher sold 6 million of his rhymes (chorus) At age 17 Wayne Gretzky loved hockey more than life, They said You’re 50 pounds too light my friend, on the rink you won’t survive Michael Jordan is a star made many of us dream But did you know that he was cut from his high school basketball team (chorus)
