Weather Above Ground
I am praying for wisdom in this great nation - and for progress
Racism, orientalism, you are in your death throes
Your time is over - this is no country for racist men
The thunder that you hear
that's the sound of the weather changing above ground
So yes, take your last best shot, point your fearful fingers
When you're through we will help you remember
that even though you are finished here that you still have a chance to be heard.
Because the America that I have pledged allegiance to is a strong one
One that has withstood your weakness and risen above your fear
And that America will embrace you even through when you are shown to be false
The thunder you hear is the applause of the sons and daughters of the revolution that began on November 2008
