Lincoln University - A Crucible for the Bold"
Verse 1:
In the halls where echoes of history resound,
Lincoln's legacy, profoundly profound.
A crucible for the bold, the brave, the astute,
Nurturing leaders to stand resolute.
Chorus:
Oh, Lincoln, our beacon, your walls have seen it all,
From Nkrumah to Marshall, you've answered the call.
With courage and wisdom, you've taught them to fight,
For justice, for freedom, in the darkness and light.
Verse 2:
From the heart of Pennsylvania, under calm skies,
Where Nkrumah once walked, his ambitions would rise.
In the classrooms of Lincoln, from '35 to '39,
He shaped his dreams that would one day intertwine.

Oh, Lincoln, our beacon, your walls have seen it all,
From Nkrumah to Marshall, you've answered the call.
