Is President Obama The Answer?

I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SEE THE DAY!
As a human being
That has been kissed by the sun
I thought that this day would surely not come
For when we was young
There was so little hope
It was all we could do
Just to bear it and cope
Some turned drinking
Others to dope
And the rest
They were just happy and dumb
Then came Doc Martin
He said he had dreams
He said things should be different
And not stay as they seemed
So we followed
We marched
We let out a roar
Little did we know
What was really in store
Dogs biting
Cops beating
Being hose down to the ground
We stood there
And we took it
For a new way had to be found

A man called Obama
I know the name
It sounds strange
But he’s talking about doing things different
And about bringing on change

You hear what he’s saying
Why not answer the call?
His youth is against him, experience so-so
But with your support and your backing
Forward we shall go
The White House is the objective,
Equality the aim
So come on everybody,
Let’s climb aboard the Obama train
We can make it
Really counts this time
I state this fact for sure
For the failures of elections pasted
We have surely found a cure

So on Election Day
I’m glad to say
You took my words to heart
And casted your vote,
For the better Man
He is brighter, he is younger
Plus he is smart
