(Verse 1 – Setting the Scene) 🎶 Under chandeliers so grand, history takes the stage, Seventies gowns and bow ties, setting the golden age. Carter and Rosalynn, watching side by side, With Tip and Millie O’Neill, their faces filled with pride. (Pre-Chorus – The Vision Unfolds) No metal gates, no flashing lights, Just Secret Service in the night. A theater lost, now found again, Where art and history transcend. (Chorus – The Moment Comes Alive) Oh, Ford’s Theatre, light up the night, A story reborn in the city’s bright light. Frankie dreamed, and Frankie fought, Now Lincoln’s stage is never lost. 🎭 (Verse 2 – A Dream Restored) From shadows deep and echoes past, The curtain rose, the spell was cast. Billy Dee’s voice rang so strong, Dr. King’s dream still marching on. (Bridge – The Celebration) 🎶 Fonda, Greene, and Vincent Price, Legends gathering, hearts unite. Eartha Kitt, a scarlet gown, As the music swayed the town. (Chorus – The Moment Comes Alive) Oh, Ford’s Theatre, light up the night, A story reborn in the city’s bright light. Frankie dreamed, and Frankie fought, Now Lincoln’s stage is never lost. 🎭 (Outro – The Legacy Lives On) Years have passed, the voices stay, Echoing through each new play. From tragedy to art so bright, Frankie’s dream still shines tonight. 🎶
