A Change is Gonna Come

A few things came to mind as the day of service in honor of the Reverand Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. came to a close today. One was Dr. Martin Luther King's Prediction.

Another was a song that I learned at a very early age during the Civil Rights Movement:  Lift Every Voice and Sing (The Black National Anthem) by James Weldon Johnson.[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGWsqR6UbGk&feature=related[/youtube]And finally, a song that could reflect the mood or hope that is sweeping the world:  A Change is Gonna Come[dailymotion]http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7tupr_sam-cooke-a-change-is-gonna-come_webcam[/dailymotion]I'm counting down the hours until Bush lifts off from the White House lawn and the new Obama Administration begins to officially lift up the U.S.A. Of course it will be a take time to fix the numerous challenges in America but I think I am safe to say that after eight-years of not having prior proper planning which led to piss-poor performance, a lot of people believe that America will redeem itself at home and abroad.A lot more people are now willing to work for CHANGE, are you?
