A True Leader (Barack Obama)

he speaks with such certainty of a vision so clear

he has a dream and like Martin,

he knows how to get there

he radiates hope that a change is gonna come

he has a plan and give us all hope

that we have needed for so long

we shall overcome, we shall win this race

we will hear the sweet sound

the sweet sound of amazing grace

this new grassroots movement has stretched across this earth

so many people, with so many reasons

all pray for a political rebirth

he's a modern day hero and he is a true leader

he reaches out to everyone

from the homeless to the blog readers

he took us from muddy waters to mountains high

crossed valleys deep and rivers wide

change can happen, if we try

from the roots, through all the struggles and all the grief

from the civil rights movement

to a black Commander in Chief

the world is changing, he is proving it to us

he is now sworn into presidency in god we trust

he is making history and brings us hope from fear

whatever happens down the road, remember that we have made it here

Swing low sweet chariot because change has come

We have gathered and we have won!

but at the same time change has just begun

Change is gonna come

Change can happen

and Change has begun
