She Opened Her Eyes Today
On Inauguration Day 2009

She opened her eyes on Inauguration Day
She realized life’s about to change

No more hoping and wishing today
Segregation must end today
Children must smile today
Men and women must praise today
Birds must fly higher
Homeless must find shelter
Wind must blow softer

Races must open their hearts today
Discrimination must stop today
Hatred must end
Dr. MLK must be heard
Obama must speak today

Everyone must improve today
Life must change
We all must come together
She opened her eyes today
Today is Inauguration Day.
