Change begins when we believe
in a brighter day a better way to succeed

so we can be safe and prosperous and free

Ladies and gentleman beautiful intelligent
friends of all ages races and measurements
US citizens world wide residents
whatever your religion is or ual preference
there’s no separateness one things’re connecting us
the planet we inhabit plus all the different elements
that’s the reason why we need a new president
someone who understands interconnectedness
and won’t go to war based on false evidence
who’s not addicted to oil and aggressiveness
who believes in global warming and he’ll fight pollution
instead of shredding and abusing our constitution
the candidate in 08 that we’ll be choosing
is Barack Obama cuz he’s gonna offer real solutions
let’s get involved and offer all our contributions
vote for hope join the movement of the revolution.
 [bad word] Change begins when we believe
in a brighter day a better way to succeed
together we can make it better you and me
so we can be safe and prosperous and free

I hold this [bad word] to be self evident
it’s time for Barack Obama to [bad word] president
that’s why I’m calling to my nation and my generation
this is our moment no more waiting or procrastinating
we gotta make it happen; time for some action
it don’t matter if you’re black white asian latin
we gotta vote for hope; and steer clear of fear
regardless of the garbage they put in our ears
the talking head on the radio and television
spinning the facts treating us like we’re little children
but even with the propaganda they can’t stop us can they
cuz we know in our souls that we’re gonna stand up
& let our voices be heard word to the people
let’s make sure this election is fair and equal
no more illegal war dying on a distant shore
and that’s the reason why Obama’s who we’re voting for
he can restore our reputation in the world
and that’s the reason why Obama’s who we’re voting for
so we can be prosperous free and feel secure
and that’s the reason why Obama’s who we’re voting for
 [bad word] Change begins when we believe
in a brighter day a better way to succeed
together we can make it better you and me
so we can be safe and prosperous and free
