Mama Go Grab Martin!

President Barack Obama Has Arrived!

Claire Luna-Pinsker
Mama go grab Martin, you have to go share the news.

Share the news about today and his dream.

His dream has come true, Mama.

Go find him, high above those clouds.

Spread your wings and find him because you have to let him know.

And by the way Mama, go grab John, you have to go share the news.

Share the news that his beliefs are ones our country now believes in.

And don't forget to grab Abraham, because he was the one who started us on this road a long time ago.

He was the one who fought to set us free.

Mama go and grab them all.

Tell them you want to celebrate.

Celebrate with them because of the great news today.

Tell them you never had the opportunity before.

Tell them you never had the right.

Tell them how you struggled, but hoped you'd see this day.

Mama go, go grab them all.

Tell them you want to dance and praise and sing.

Tell them you want to share angelic feelings about dreams that have been set free.

Tell them today about the new President.

Barack Obama's his name.

Mama go grab them all and share your glory.

Tell them you were a proud black woman who once was subdued,

Tell them that today your children's chains have been broken.

Mama go grab them all.

Martin Luther King Jr., President John F. Kennedy, and President Abraham Lincoln

Go you magnificent angel, go and grab those mighty angels.

Tell them it took some time but their job has been done.

Now President Barack Obama has started their job today.
