"A Body of Work." The every other Tuesday space on Substack where I dig into Hal History and pull a song.  https://halwalker.substack.com

Abraham Lincoln drives a freedom train
An’ in a coupl’a days he’s gonna break these chains
And carry me away, no more a slave

Lately, I’ve been thinkin’ he’s a mighty man
With a miracle plan to fill that train
And drive it all the way to the freedom land.

My country tis of thee how long will it be
‘till all my children are free
So long with these chains on I can’t hardly breathe
How long will this skin burden me.

Here comes that train!

O Father I know you
I gotta believe it’s true
You’re the freedom man
You’re Father Abraham

For my brothers and sisters too
This freedom is comin' soon
He’s a righteous man
He’s Father Abraham

O mother I’m saying to you
These slav’ry days are through
We’re hand in hand 
with Father Abraham  Lincoln

I’m holdin’ the hand of a brother’s hand
Who’s holdin the hand of a mother
She’s holdin’ the hand of a child’s hand
Who’d holdin the hand of another
He’s holdin’ the hand of a sister’s hand

On our way to the Freedom Land.

Father Abraham

If you've played Sonic Superstars, you'd know that Sky Temple Zone only has one act, but what if it had a second act? Well it probably wouldn't sound like this, but I wanted to make one anyway. How I pictured it is Sonic (or whoever you're playing as) running through the act while the tornado at the end of act 1 goes crazy, making it more hectic. Sections with floating platforms would be more common with whoever you're playing as being carried by the wind to break up the section. Occasionally, objects would be flying towards you. Yes, it would be absolutely terrible in multiplayer.
