We felt beaten down and bloody
As we lost our homes to foreclosure
And we lost our jobs day by day.
We felt downtrodden and forsaken
As our world around us came crashing down
As we huddled under darkened skies
And we were haunted by the hatred
of a man with the name of Osama Bin Laden.

Oh God, thank you for melting this ice.
Thank you for healing these wounds.
Oh God, we thank you for our new blessings
And on the eve of this new inauguration
We and the world thank you for our new president-
Barek Obama!

There is still hope for tomorrow.
There is still hope in my heart.
There is still hope for all of us
And now we have a new sense of trust.
As we had lost our homes to foreclosure
And we had lost our jobs.
We felt downtrodden and forsaken
As our world around us came crushing down
As we huddled under darkened skies
And we were haunted by the hatred of a Osama Bin Laden.

Thank you for healing these wounds.
Oh God, we thank you for our new blessings
And on the eve of this new inauguration
We and the world thank you for our new president
Barek Obama!

We can never forget how a senator from Illinois
Freed the slaves and set them free!
Now we are dependent on another senator from Illinois
An Africian American to set us free
From all the chains that bind us
And from all the fears that destroy our trust!

Oh God, thank you for melting this ice.

And on the eve of this new inauguration

We and the world thank you.
We thank you.
There is still hope in my heart
There is still hope for all of us
And now we have a new sense of trust.
