Barack Hussein Obama II (i/bəˈrɑːk huːˈseɪn oʊˈbɑːmə/; born August 4, 1961) is the 44th and current President of the United States. He is the first African American to hold the office. In January 2005, Obama was sworn in as a U.S. Senator in the state of Illinois. He would hold this office until November 2008, when he resigned following his victory in the 2008 presidential election.
Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, Obama is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he was the president of the Harvard Law Review. He was a community organizer in Chicago before earning his law degree. He worked as a civil rights attorney in Chicago and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004. He served three terms representing the 13th District in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004.
Following an unsuccessful bid against the Democratic incumbent for a seat in the United States House of Representatives in 2000, Obama ran for the United States Senate in 2004. Several events brought him to national attention during the campaign, including his victory in the March 2004 Illinois Democratic primary for the Senate election and his keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in July 2004. He won election to the U.S. Senate in Illinois in November 2004. His presidential campaign began in February 2007, and after a close campaign in the 2008 Democratic Party presidential primaries against Hillary Rodham Clinton, he won his party's nomination. In the 2008 presidential election, he defeated Republican nominee John McCain, and was inaugurated as president on January 20, 2009. Nine months later, Obama was named the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize laureate. In April 2011, he announced that he would be running for re-election in 2012.
Stop for a moment just to see where you're goin'
If you sure that is what you wanna know
Now that you think that the end is worth knowin'
Back to the start is where you wanna go
Hey, everybody is
Just about the same, just about the same
Hey, when you finally see
From where we came, from where we came
Ask me your question and I'll give you your answer
Are you part of everybody, yes, you are
Where do you think all these people have come from
Are you their brother, well, I guess you are
Hey, everybody is
Just about the same, just about the same
Hey, when you finally see
(Larry Ramos/Bob Alcivar/Tony Ortega)
Stepping off a stone, while I'm walking alone
Walking all alone, like always
Got me a new car, it doesn't get me too far
I'm all out of gas, like always
Got to pay the rent, but all my money's spent
All my money's spent, like always
I wonder where my pay went
Missed another payment
I'm all out of bread, like always
Girl, let the world have my money
I don't care
Girl, make my troubles seem funny and small
In no time at all
Things have got to move, I've been to long in this groove
Hung up in this groove, like always
Things are getting better, ever since I met her
Oh, oh, there she goes, like always
Like always, like always
(Jim Yester)
I've never seen this side of you before
Till now
I never knew that you could feel this way
Till now
CHORUS
after all the time we spent together
Just doesn't seem fair
At all
No fair at all
Never seen the moonlight through your hair
Till now
Never heard the sweet things you could say
Till now
CHORUS
Requiem aeternam
Requiem aeternam
Mama, mama, forget your pies
Have faith they won't get cold
And turn your eyes to the bloodshot sky
Your flag is flying full
At half mast for the matadors
Who turned their backs
To please the crowd
And all fell before the bull
Red was the color of his blood flowing thin
Pallid white was the color of his lifeless skin
Blue was the color of the morning sky
He saw looking up from the ground where he died
It was the last thing ever seen by him
Kyrie Eleison
Mama, mama, forget your pies
Have faith they won't get cold
And turn your eyes to the bloodshot sky
Your flag is flying full
At half mast for the matadors
Who turned their backs
To please the crowd
And all fell before the bull
Black and white were the figures that recorded him
Black and white was the newsprint he was mentioned in
Black and white was the question that so bothered him
He never asked, he was taught not to ask
But was on his lips as they buried him
Rex tremendae majestatis
Requiem aeternam
(Terry Kirkman)
Well, I'm a day at a time
I'm a day at a time
Well, I'm a seeker and knower
In a six man mind
'Cause I'm a traveling man
Yes, I'm a traveling man
Well, I'm a comer and a goer
In a six man band
Well, I'm a California man, my instrument in hand
I'm electrified
On a fast flying trip, dirty laundry in my grip
Mostly drip-dry
We got the seventeen jewels that dictate the rules
And the time to fly, as we're passing by
We just got the time to say hello, and then a fast good-bye
I'm a traveling man
Yes, I'm a traveling man
Well, I'm a comer and a goer in a six man band

Sunrise, sunset
What you're born with is what you get
Let your fear just pass away, then your love will fill your days
I know
I need so little, yet so much
Child's sweet laughter, woman's touch
I can't say just what is real, all I know is what I feel
I know
The time it is today, and we must find our way
My heart it clearly states, the answer's not in hate
I once believed that love was but a dream
But now I know that love's a flowing stream
They're lying, killing, they're pushing their rules
They tell you the prophets all are just fools
But I know different and I won't be used
It's they that are lost, it's they are confused
Sunrise, sunset
What you're born with is what you get
All your worries, all your fears
They don't change the passing years
I know
(Don Addrisi/Dick Addrisi)
I kicked off my shoes, and felt the good earth beneath my feet
I loosened my tie, and felt what it feels like to breathe
I found the secret to llife
I took some time for living
I took off my watch, and found I had all the time in the world
I opened up my arms, so I could hold life like a beautiful girl
I laid down all of my hang-ups forever
I looked around, and saw what sweet things can be found
Simply by taking some time for living
Grooving on little things life is giving
>From now on I'm taking time out for life
Too busy to stop and notice the things that are real
Embarrassed to talk about all things that I feel
It's so strange, never noticed the world all around me
Hey, look I've changed, my attitude's been rearranged
>From now on I'm taking some time for living
Grooving on everything life is giving
I'm gonna be taking time for life
Lifetime for living
Grooving on everything life is giving
Lifetime for living
Grooving on everything life is giving
Lifetime for living
(Ted Bluechel Jr.)
I wake her, I hold her
I tell her I love her
And she smiles and says the same
She makes me feel like sunshine when she says my name
Her laughing, her crying
Her caring, her sharing
Of my life means more to me
Than all the wealth and fame that fortune brings to me
Turn your head around
Are you sure love's the feeling that surrounds you?
Does the question count when you feel good
As good inside as I do, do you?
The sun sets, the gulls fly
We love us, she and I
(Terry Kirkman)
In my most secure moments, I still can't believe
I'm spending those moments with you
And the ground I am walking, the air that I breathe
Are shared at those moments with you
You love for real, you show the feel
Of everything that touches you
In the songs I've been singing, quite often a phrase
Comes close to the feeling of you
BUt I never suspected that one of those days
The wish of a song would come true
You love for real, you show the feel
Of everything that touches you
You are of gracefulness, you are of happiness
You are what I would guess to be most like
What I've been singing of
Love, love, love, love
In the songs I've been singing, quite often a phrase
Comes close to the feeling of you
But I never suspected that one of those days
The wish of a song would come true
You love for real, you show the feel
Of everything that touches you
Love, love, love, love
Sunny dancing days are stepping out of hiding
Taking me along the way I know I’m flying
Out rhythm out of time, it seems alright
How do I know what to do when there are no rules?
Chorus
Hear in here cries a voice inside.
I tell you what to do and how to live your life
The changes will make you, you
and make you go where you’re going to
its all up to you
Over here over there
people running everywhere
Only trouble is they’re there they don’t know where
In out all around first you’re up then down
Whatcha’ gonna do when all you got left you
Chorus
Hear in here cries a voice inside
I tell you what to do and how to live your life
The changes will make you, you
and make you go where you’re going to
its all up to you
Solo
Idle conversation making love raising love
speaks of revelation from way above
All this senseless hassles keeping us from love
Who is he who is she probably some one I could be
Chorus
Hear in here cries a voice inside
I tell you what to do and how to live your life
The changes will make you, you
and make you go where you’re going to
its all up to you
Birthday Morning
(Jim Yester)
Night has cried
Her dewdrops in the grass
The dark has passed
And now it's morning
A birthday morning
Now the dawn is waking
In her hands
Awaiting plans
Of ribs and apples
To find the love way
This happy birthday
Got the feel of sunrise
In her hair
God unwinds her halo
To the stairway
To the moon
Just for this morning
A birthday morning
Now the dreams
Are dancing candlelight
That end the night
To bring her day dreams
And show the love way
This happy birthday
Got the feel of sunrise
In her hair
God unwinds her halo
To the stairway
To the moon
Just for this morning
A birthday morning
God bless the morning
God bless this morning
God bless this morning
(Terry Kirkman)
Cherish is the word I use to describe
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside
You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could mold you
Into someone who could cherish me as much as I cherish you
Perish is the word that more than applies
To the hope in my heart each time I realize
That I am not gonna be the one to share your dreams
That I am not gonna be the one to share your schemes
That I am not gonna be the one to share what seems to be
The life that you could cherish as much as I do yours
Oh, I'm beginning to think that man has never found
The words that could make you want me
That have the right amount of letters, just the right sound
That could make you hear, make you see
That you are driving me out of my mind
Oh, I could say I need you, but then you'd realize
That I want you, just like a thousand other guys
Who'd say they loved you with all the rest of their lies
When all they wanted was to touch your face, your hands
And gaze into your eyes
Cherish is the word I use to describe
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside
You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could mold you
Into someone who could cherish me as much as I cherish you
And I do cherish you
And I do cherish you
Cherish is the word

On a quiet night
You can hear the rustling of the leaves
On a quiet night
Distant voices carry softly in the breeze
And I'm inside my room
Captured in a moment's thought
Strumming on a chord from my guitar
Silently, silently (silently)
So silently (so silently)
On a quiet night
Time hangs heavy in the air just like a cloud
I'm lying on my bed
Scratching my head, wondering what it's about
Are we all minstrels
Playing in a three-ring circus
Searching for a purpose that's not there
Silently, silently (silently)
So silently (so silently, so silently, so silently)
Everybody's thinking
Gotta get ahead, gotta get ahead
Everybody's drinking
Hurrying, worrying, playing the game
All acting the same
As I look out through my windowpane
On a quiet night
The wind, it can play tricks on your ear
Like some unsolved mystery
We all guess at the ending, but nobody comes near
Are we all minstrels
Playing in a three-ring circus
Searching for a purpose that's not there
Silently, silently (silently)
So silently (so silently, so silently, so silently)
What is a sound inside a rainbow
Where is a moment gone away
Will I wear my heart behind a window
Will I show the love I hold for you today
CHORUS:
Yes, I will, and you can believe me
Yes, I will, and you know it's true
Yes, I will, and I'll never deceive thee
Will I always love you, yes, I will, yes I will
Oh, love is swift and like an arrow
Oh, then is deep and like the wind
If love is here again tomorrow
Will you ask me would I feel the same way then
CHORUS:
Yes, I will, and you can believe me
Yes, I will, and you know it's true
Yes, I will, and I'll never deceive thee
Will I always love you, yes, I will, yes I will
Will I keep it free, yes, I will
Just as it should be, yes, I will
And taking care, that love is sharing with you
CHORUS:
Yes, I will, and you can believe me
Yes, I will, and you know it's true
Yes, I will, and I'll never deceive thee
Will I always love you, yes, I will, yes I will
Oh Oh yes, I will
Oh Oh yes, I will
Oh Oh yes, I will
Oh Oh yes, I will
Oh Oh yes, I will
Oh Oh yes, I will
Oh Oh yes, I will
(Ruthann Friedman)
Who's peeking out from under a stairway
Calling a name that's lighter than air
Who's bending down to give me a rainbow
Everyone knows it's Windy
Who's tripping down the streets of the city
Smiling at everybody she sees
Who's reaching out to capture a moment
Everyone knows it's Windy
And Windy has stormy eyes
That flash at the sound of lies
And Windy has wings to fly
Above the clouds, above the clouds
Who's tripping down the streets of the city
Smiling at everybody she sees
Who's reaching out to capture a moment
Everyone knows it's Windy
"Memories of you"
(J.Yester)
Everybody told me the way that love could be
But I never thought that love
If you leave me now my happiness would die
Memories of you would always make me cry
Everybody told me in time you'd go away
But I never listened I loved you day by day
If you leave me now my happiness would die
Memories of you would always make me cry
-Instrumental-
If you leave me now my happiness would die
Memories of you would always make me cry (repeat till fade)
What is a sound inside a rainbow
Where is a moment gone away
Will I wear my heart behind a window
Will I show the love I hold for you today
CHORUS:
Yes, I will, and you can believe me
Yes, I will, and you know it's true
Yes, I will, and I'll never deceive thee
Will I always love you, yes, I will, yes I will
Oh, love is swift and like an arrow
Oh, then is deep and like the wind
If love is here again tomorrow
Will you ask me would I feel the same way then
CHORUS:
Yes, I will, and you can believe me
Yes, I will, and you know it's true
Yes, I will, and I'll never deceive thee
Will I always love you, yes, I will, yes I will
Will I keep it free, yes, I will
Just as it should be, yes, I will
And taking care, that love is sharing with you
CHORUS:
Yes, I will, and you can believe me
Yes, I will, and you know it's true
Yes, I will, and I'll never deceive thee
Will I always love you, yes, I will, yes I will

Oh Oh yes, I will
Oh Oh yes, I will

Can't believe you got that attitude
You've been so cold and rude
Baby, when you're gonna give it up
Tell me are we breaking up?
I know what you wanna do
You wanna leave me blue, you
Dreamer, dreamer
Dreamer, dreamer
You've been telling everyone and all
Just how I'm gonna fall
When I do, you're gonna be right there
To walk away and show me you don't care
I know what you wanna do
You wanna leave me blue, you
Dreamer, dreamer
Dreamer, dreamer
I remember when
She goes in my skin
Though it's very thin
She thinks she's gonna win

it seems so sane
always right until
i hear your words
sound so mute to feel
i'm treading near
now to understand
where's the end
on the other side
its alright
i'll be okay right here
peering through
with one clouded eye
its halfway closed
open never mind
blocked point of view
changing color hue
i'm close to find
what's the other side
runaway, runaway
you can go
i've found my way

And I do cherish you
And I do cherish you
Cherish is the word
An old day is coming once again
Young woman leaves the beast
Of never ending sadness
The day grows sleepy and it's
Night
He the barefoot boy
In the earth-green waving fields
Leaves for the city, the stars
Awake and come to the crowd for
The Night
* And the orange open glow
And sunset of goodbye is singing
Through woman there's a home
In the heart of man right now
Barefoot gentleman there's a
Woman's hand under the moon
'Neath the moon an ever new light
He the barefoot boy
In the black blindfold of death
Led by a woman within his heart
Finds the city of dark's
Promised land

Every time I think that I'm the only one who's lonely
Someone calls on me
And every now and then I spend my time at rhyme and verse
And curse those faults in me
And then along comes Mary
And does she want to give me kicks, and be my steady chick
And give me pick of memories
Or maybe rather gather tales fromhe fails and tribulations
No one ever sees
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks
Whose sickness is the games they play
And when the masquerade is played and neighbor folks make jokes
At who is most to blame today
And then along comes Mary
And does she want to set them free, and let them see reality
>From where she got her name
And will they struggle much, when told that such a tender touch of hers
Will make them not the same
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
And when the morning of the warning's passed, the gassed and flaccid kids
Are flung across the staras
The psychodramas and the traumas gone
The songs are left unsung and hung upon the scars
And then along comes Mary
And does she want to see the stains, the dead remains of all the pains
She left the night before
Or will their waking eyes, reflect the lies, and make them realize
Their urgent cry for sight no more
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
