2008 was a year so great
A president was elected to represent the United States
Yes, a president of a different kind
A president with the skin color, the color like mine
Who would have thought that it could be done
From record breaking turnouts, the election he won
To have a black president for decades we yearned
And to be leader of this country was a title he earned
When other presidents wondered and said that they would
President Obama was the President that could
What did he do that the others did not?
Well, he did so much, yes, he took on a lot
He passed, he pushed, he signed many acts
He improved school nutrition for our kids - that’s a fact
He killed Bin Laden and the auto industry he saved
He ended the war in Iraq for our troops are so brave
For the times at the doctor you couldn’t afford to be there
Well, the President that could created Obama care
In 2012, low and behold, another 4 years were about to unfold
We’re continuing to move forward with President Obama to lead
For this country is great, a great country indeed!
Thank you President Obama!
