Global justice billions crave Revolution now* the wave. Fresh solutions far and wide Peace procurement now*the tide. On waves and tides of cosmic scale audacity and hope now sail. OBAMA 2008!

U. S. poverty must Go. A conscientious overthrow. The working poor, the down and out. Revolution now*the shout. Vote ones heart * evolve * transcend the Wisdom Way to comprehend. VICTORY 2008!

A living wage for one and all. Resolution now*the call. Civil rights again restore. Revolution! * Just once more. The Common Dream now full force* a visionary, gutsy course. OBAMA 2008!

Universal health care, Yes! Congress HAS it, are WE less? Equal rights across the board. Resolution now* the chord. Americans, a lively blend, pilot the progressive trend. VICTORY 2008!

Peaceful revolution, Yes! The human race to coalesce. One Creator, over ALL. One last chance to heed the Call -- Love’s the lesson. Life’s the school. Peace On Earth. The Golden Rule. Live the Lesson. Heal our Earth. * Imagine * Transformation now. Rebirth!

OBAMA Refrain: Spur the people stir the fire Mobilize and walk the wire. Back on track and off the dime -- Revolution. One last time. So amplify the drums and riff. Be the ANSWER to "What if**?" BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT 2008!
