Obama

Dark minds blasted
The color of your skin
But you've won this country
With all its bursting madness
You've showed that it is nevertheless
At the summit of our human world

I know you are not a Messiah
Or a miracle-mongering wizard
And I don't have the illusion 
Of changing the world in an instant
What's important is
This is the first step 
And when you come to a crossing
You'll stay on the right path
