Obama, represents a light of hope

Shining bright, where once it shone dim

The first president of colour

Black and white ... equally welcoming him

This world is ready for change

Moving forward with freedom of choice

They have chosen Obama as president

United , ... as one voice

Today, January 2009

We watch as history was made 

They cheered as the oath was spoken

 Obama’s message, then, relayed

His words were powerful and strong

He Emanates confidence and pride

He spoke to the wealthy and poor

And reaching out his hand to allies

Obama represents dreams

An historical dream come true

Bringing a nation closer together

A feat ... that was long over due

Never have expectations been so high 

 Nor have emotions been so raw

This changing time in history

Has left the world...in awe
