Brand New Day
Last night as they called Ohio for Obama I got chills. Giant shivers and goose pimples.... It took me a while to realize it was what I felt. A feeling I haven't had a lot of in my adult life- Hope.
On the walk home from the DL election party a song from the Wiz got stuck in my head. I think it is just perfect for today.
then when I was looking up the youtube--- many of the comments were about Obama too. What heartening and wonderful feeling.

Brand New Day
Everybody look around
'Cause there's a reason to rejoice you see
Everybody come out
And let's commence to singing joyfully
Everybody look up
And feel the hope that we've been waiting for
Everybody's glad
Because our silent fear and dread is gone
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Everybody be glad
Because the sun is shining just for us
Everybody wake up
Into the morning into happiness
Hello world
It's like a different way of living now
And thank you world
We always knew that we'd be free somehow
In harmony
And show the world that we've got liberty
It's such a change
For us to live so independently
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Everybody be glad
Because the sun is shining just for us
Everybody wake up
Into the morning into happiness
Hello world

And show the world that we've got liberty
