The view on the TV was so surreal
I had to call a friend
To ask if it was real
The first time I ever cried
From the doing of a man
Was the first time an African-American
Was voted President of this Land
My faith in a nation was restored
And now I understand that
Years of Hard work does have a reward
So I vowed from that day
To build a legacy
Not only for myself
But for my current and future family
To be a better man everyday
And to work hard
And never let my mind go astray
To work toward my goals
And never ever quit
To build up my community
And to make a difference none will forget
So I thank you America
For helping me to believe
Because Obama is President
There isn’t anything we can’t achieve
