Winners
today the top of my mountian
was at the end of a line
as i walked around the corner
i saw how far i had to climb
i saw hundreds of people standing in line
i've never seen so many people voting at one time
several times i'm sure tears welled in my eyes
my heart was filled with something
you can call it pride
because sometime ago our hope was realized
and we began to come together
to give it one good try
the regulars stoped looked, smiled and sighed
some you can clearly tell walking
with tears in eyes
as i walked through the door
i knew my moment had arrived
for me to do my small part
to keep a dream alive
i voted for my candidate
with the issues on my mind
yeah: i thought about race
if i said i didn't, i'd be lying
but in the political race
the best candidate was mine
i think this time we have a winner
a winner yes this time
