[Barack Obama from a speech on May 29, 2011 Joplin MO]
***************
(Obama) ... come to each other’s aide, you’ve demonstrated a
simple truth … that amid heartbreak and tragedy, no one is a
stranger … everybody is a brother (applause),
everybody is a sister, we can all love one another …
before leaving this place called earth
I'd like to have a rebirth
this time with more doses of mirth
now knowing better its true worth
laughing so hard eyes blur from the tears
hope and love to shoulder my fears
no more street orphans with whacked years
comity to be the next frontier
call it what you will
call it what you will
but say it the way it is
but say it the way it is
people from all around
people from all around
are broken or breaking down
breaking down
call it what you will
call it what you will
but say it the way it is
but say it the way it is
people from all around
are broken or breaking down
breaking down
rather than another drive-by
quicker than saying Mumbai
what if we all sat side-by-side
while sharing some humble pie
I'll read more Henry David Thoreau
tune in deeper to nature's flow
no more shanty towns or skid rows
too many caught in class undertow
call it what you will
(Obama) you’ve demonstrated a simple truth …
but say it the way it is
people from all around
(Obama) amid heartbreak tragedy …
are broken or breaking down
call it what you will
… no one is a stranger
call it what you will
but say it the way it is
everybody is a brother (applause), everybody is a sister …
but say it the way it is
call it what you will
we can all love one another …
but say it the way it is
people from all around
we can all love one another …
are broken or breaking down
love one another …
breaking down
breaking down
down
love one another …
breaking down
down
breaking down
breaking down
breaking down
breaking down
down down
