They Embraced Today

"The American Way"


On a 2008 cold brisk Winter's Day
  Americans voted and joined to pray

Changing its history
  with songs of glory

Freedom´s regal souls
  stood tall and bold

Renewing Dr. King's dream
  one America, one Team

A day etched in infamy
  if never again to be

Brave Americans
  took a stand
  on the promised land
