Wake up my children wake up every where

You know what day it is, or don’t you care

Especially you Black children, no time to sleep

we have a very important date to keep

Didn’t think it would come, til another time,

felt it would happen in yours, not in mine

It’s January 20th 2009

It’s been a long wait coming, but right on time.

None of you were around in 1963,

Now have a chance to be part of history

Millions will be coming from everywhere,

being eye witnesses to what happens here.

Hardly slept last night, in my anticipation

kept marking time, till this inauguration.

Barack H Obama, 44th President

E pluribus Unum, of African descent.

To know he got here, brought me to tears

For those who paid the price, over the years

Change HAS finally come, to the USA

Arise children everywhere, today is the day!

Let there be rejoicing, this is your time!

January 20th 2009
