lirik lagu the gettysburg address – gettysburg

four score and seven years ago
our father’s brought forth on this continent a new nation
conceived in liberty and dedicated to the propisition that all men are created equal

now we are engaged in a great civil war
testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure.
we are met on a great battlefield of that war.
we have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place
for those who here have their lived that that nation
might live
it is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

but, in a larger sense, we cannot deicate, we cannot consecrate,
we cannot hallow this ground.
the brave men, living and dead, who struggled here
have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract.
the world will little note nor long remember what we say here,
but it can never forget what they did here.
it is for us, the living,
rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work
which they who fought here have thus so n-bly advanced.
it is rather for us – that from there honored dead
we take increased devotion to that cause
for which they gave the last full measure of devotion-
that we are highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain,
that this naton under god shall have a new birth of freedom,
and that government of the people,
by the people,
for the people,
shall not perish from this earth.
