We are 'ONE NATION'

From 'One Nation Under God' to 'I Have A Dream'

To a simple vote becoming a popular scheme,

We now learn that ALL that we have been thorough has meant EVERYTHING,

From our suffering to our tears,

It was through our hope that we endured our fears,

And we let our enemies know that we'll ALWAYS be here,

With all the historic background of trial and tribulation,

whether BLACK or CAUCASIAN,

We suffered it all together as ' ONE NATION'

In war WE'VE bled.

And in slavery we fled,

YET on November 4, 2008

We came together and chanted 'YES WE CAN!'

Through our biggest travesties like 9,11

To the capture of Saddam,

Us coming together heart to heart and palm to palm

Proved how together we can conquer it all

I still know within myself that when evil is running

That good and truth will go chasing,

And in result we will see that we are brother’s sisters of ALL races,

Right here in this 'ONE NATION'

Now there is hope in me that we all will see,

That whether rich or wealthy or poor and struggling,

Rather you speak proper or slang,

That when our nation was in turmoil we all suffered though not the same

From the flood waters of Katrina to the uprising in foreclosures,

These past few years we've seen one disaster after another,

And we went through it all, ALL together,

And remember that when our nation was down because of crime, depression, recession and trauma,

 It was YOU, my nation, OUR NATION, that waited in those unbearable long lines and chanted 'YES WE CAN' and elected our 1st black president BARACK OBAMA
