| Thank you, thank you, thank you
|
| I would first like to thank the almighty creator for making all things possible
|
| You’re so awesome
|
| And I would like to thank you all
|
| Everyone that voted for peace, justice, equality
|
| Those that stand for an improvement in policy
|
| Those that want to see change implemented, not just words but actions
|
| Commitment to a brighter future
|
| To all you futurist I salute ya
|
| And we won’t be denied
|
| Progress is on our side
|
| The pathway to forward is illuminated for us and shine
|
| With a bright, undeniable light
|
| And it’s his light, her light, all different skin types
|
| Weights, heights, likes, dislikes, and walks of life
|
| And that light will blaze the way to a better tomorrow
|
| What we do today in this life, in this time
|
| It’s our charge, to all rise
|
| And seize the moment, collectively own it
|
| Victory is waiting for us, all it’s open
|
| We have arrived, we have arrived, we are here
|
| (speech x10)
|
| I’m feeling more optimistic than I have in a very long time
|
| The storm clouds have lifted it’s been a scary long ride
|
| I finally feel like after I don’t know how many years
|
| I’m tirelessly fighting uphill, compromising the deals
|
| The grinding, the building, the broadening of our appeal
|
| At last we finally arrived
|
| The worlds opened up like a coconut
|
| The culturally monopoly broken up
|
| And for those that had a hold on us
|
| Imposed their doctrine and a code of conduct
|
| That’s over and done, all that is history
|
| This is a new model, but enough about yesterday
|
| Let’s talk about tomorrow
|
| See change, a paradigm shift
|
| We change, it’s an awesome time
|
| For those of us who felt marginalized, compartmentalized
|
| Or felt like we led nominal lives, or even felt like a target at times
|
| And where I once felt like an outsider
|
| Now I feel like I am empowered
|
| And it doesn’t mean it still won’t be difficult
|
| And I still don’t quite feel like we hit that pinnacle
|
| But what we achieved is not insignificant
|
| Think of what we once were, this is not some little shit
|
| So where do we go next?
|
| Proceed with boldness
|
| Embrace our wholeness
|
| Activate our culture
|
| We are passionate, imaginative, action orientated people
|
| Savvy in chemist, manic, with swagger that’s unequaled
|
| Keep investing in ourselves and testing ourselves
|
| Keep pressing ourselves, besting ourselves
|
| Foster that entrepreneurial spirit
|
| Recognize that this is a milestone, historical period
|
| Let us use this momentum to further conquer our limits
|
| Cause we still got a few old habits to break
|
| And we still do have a whole planet to save
|
| We have arrived, we have arrived
|
| We are here
|
| (speech x10)
|
| We are the victors
|
| The dirty and forgotten
|
| We march ahead to a song
|
| We fight till we die
|
| We stare 'em in the eye
|
| We never flinch
|
| We never give an inch
|
| We never cry, oh
|
| Pray for the women
|
| The worthy downtrodden
|
| We honor your memory with song
|
| So raise your pitchers and turn the top to bottom |
