Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)
By Phil Collins
But to wait for you is all I can do, and that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now, cause I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It's the chance I've gotta take
Dancin' In The Streets
By Martha and The Vandellas
This is an invitation
Across the nation
A chance for the folks to meet
There'll be laughin' and singin' and music swingin'
And dancin' in the streets
The Times They Are A-Changin'
By Bob Dylan
Come gather round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
Youll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin
Then you better start swimmin
Or youll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin.
A Change Is Gonna Come
By Sam Cooke
There been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will
People Get Ready
By The Impressions
People get ready, there's a train comin'
You don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin'
You don't need no ticket you just thank the lord
Help!
By The Beatles
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me?
Bridge Over Troubled Water
By Simon and Garfunkel
When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Gimme Shelter
By The Rolling Stones
Oh, a storm is threatning
My very life today
If I dont get some shelter
Oh yeah, Im gonna fade away
War, children, its just a shot away
Its just a shot away
War, children, its just a shot away
Its just a shot away
The Message
By Grandmaster Flash
I tried to get away, but I couldnt get far
Cause the man with the tow-truck repossessed my car
Dont push me, cause Im close to the edge
Im trying not to loose my head
Its like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder
How I keep from going under
Born to Run
By Bruce Springsteen
Baby this town rips the bones from your back
Its a death trap, its a suicide rap
We gotta get out while were young
`cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run

How about "CULT OF PERSONALITY" by Living Colour!!!!
Good choices!
Thank you for your comments, Debbie. I am 53 years old - a Baby Boomer just like you. Life isn't over yet; I'm not waiting for someone to take care of me. I can still vote and so can you.
If all the songs are to be all about what he will do and take us into the future, then why are all the songs about a generation that has passed? I hope you yungins are ready to take care of the baby boomers, it's your turn now. I will be watching and have very high standerds to see how you will take care of us. It's your turn now. What are you going to do with my generation and take care of me. If you don't take care of me, then no one will be there to take care of you, when you get to be me.
Hmmmmmmm
Interesting variety.
Great selection. I will always think Obama's song is Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed and Delivered" because he used it during rallies, and also Aretha Franklin's "Think" "freedom, freedom, freedom..." was often blaring when he walked on stage. I would add "Imagine" by John Lennon, "nothing to kill and die for" and "Give Peace a Chance".
;-)
nice choices
