OBAMA THE YOUTHFUL ONE
IN 2008 THERE CAME FORTH
THE UNKNOWN YOUTHFUL ONE
NEVER TO BE OVERSHADOWED OR OUTDONE
FEELING US WITH HOPES AND DREAMS
AMONG HUGE CROWDS AND HAPPY SCREAMS
IN A TIME WHEN AMERICA WAS AT ITS LOW
HE RAISED HIS ARMS, AND TOLD US WHERE WE NEED TO GO
HE SAID WE NEED TO COME OUT OF THE PAST
AND CREATE HIS DREAM FUTURE OF AMERICA THAT WOULD LAST
A MIXTURE OF THE TWO AMERICA'S BLACK AND WHITE
RESIDES A SOUL TO END THE RACIAL FIGHT
BRINGING AMERICA INTO TRUE UNITY AND LIGHT
A DREAM THAT WAS TWO YEARS AGO OUT OF SIGHT
A PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE, IT WOULD SEEM
THAT WAS BEFORE ONLY IN MARTIN LUTHER'S DREAM
A DREAM OF A VISIONARY FROM THE PAST
THAT COMES TO FRUITION IN OBAMA AT LAST
CAN THIS YOUTHFUL ONE, FULLFILL THE HOPE
OR WILL HE HAVE TO CAVE TO COPE
FROM ALL THE WASHINGTON DARK ONES THAT CAME BEFORE
THE VISION OF LIGHT OF OBAMA OPENED A NEW DOOR
THE BEINGS OF LIGHT, SENT US THIS FUTURISTIC MAN
NOW WE AMERICANS, MUST SHOW THAT WE CAN
LEAVE THE PAST TO THE ANNALS OF TIME
AND THE LET THE BELLS OF OBAMA'S FUTURE CHIME
IF WE DO, ONCE AGAIN IN THIS GREAT LAND
WE WILL BE ABLE TO KNOW AND SAY YES WE CAN
AND AS A FORMER HIPPIE,I KNOW THIER HOPES AND DREAMS
WILL BE AMONG THE OBAMA CROWDS AND LOUD HAPPY SCREAMS.
