Dream Closer to Fruition: BLACK PRESIDENT by Tony Timberlake III (ME)




50 years ago, we were fighting for civil rights

On November 4th, we stayed up all night

Cause it appears that we’ve turned a new page in the war

We’ve passed our fears, and we’re still here

Despite racism, and prejudice

For years we’ve dreamed of this

A BLACK PRESIDENT

That breaks the precedent

Of all the former Presidents

He stands out from them all

Barack, stay strong, trust in the Lord

Pray for guidance and you won’t fall

Even if you do, God is still there

We have a black president

Dr. King dreamed of this

We have equal footing

We’re not quite singing together

But we’re closer to harmony

Streets are full of shooting

The government is concerned with the weather

But we’re closer to the song we

Shall OVERCOME
