There sould not have been any dry eyes

For every black man, woman, and child had a good reason to cry

As a people we have arrived

Let us therefore reflect

Though forgiving let

Us not forget

That the challenges we did face were indeed met

With a willingness to be free

For the first time in American History

The first couple looks like me

All of us should be on our knees

Praising God for this historic victory

With a more profound responsibility

To Dr. Martin Luther King,

And the dream

To Malcolm X and countless others

Fathers, mothers, sisters, and brothers

The bold and the brave

Rethinking the roll we played

As once being slaves

For of a truth by the hands of the enslaved this nation was made

And I believe this naion can be saved

By a black ma that coined the phrasel

Yes we can

Now holding the highest office in the land

Our cammander in chief 

Miracles never cease

For those who beliefs

Were rooted in unwavering faith

January 20th, 2009 is a testament that we’ve come a long way

Upon evening tides

As a people we have arrived

Therefore let every black man, woman, and child renew thier strength and their minds

Redefind

The nature of the black man, woman relationship

Make a new commitment

To ourselves and this nation

Though problems we’re still facin’

Our president has called us to service

We as a people knomw that no weapon formed against us can hurt us

Though there was a time when they beat us and worked us

Refusing to succomb to such toil and trouble

Barrack and Michelle Obama has risen to our nation’s first couple

Now do we believe

What black love can achieve
