you are not going to belive whatI found out... This song is actually historically true go to http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/treasures/trm012.html and read about what they found in his pockets. I think it has to do with when we die or are beaten the things we leave behind tell people alot about who you were and how you lived your life. Also parts that are sung under these lyrics are "Make ammends, lets make ammends" "make a man, what makes a man" so it does point out EmokidAlex's point of getting caught unexpected or getting in a fight. Walt Whitman actually wrote a poem celebrating his birth (Lincoln). Hope this helps.
