Tonight, he said, "Goodbye."

Tonight, he said, "Goodbye." 
Many are sad, most are fearful. 
Fearful in thoughts of what happens next when the President of change and hope leaves Office. 

Tonight, he said, "Goodbye." 
This doesn't mean that your hope of change should dissipate 
No, no--your ambition, your hope & drive
Do not erase 

For this isn't the time to collapse 
But rather a time to commence & collaborate

If anything should dissipate, let it be the lack of love & support for your fellow brothers 
If anything should dissipate, let it be the lack of anything that weakens us as a whole, as a race 
Arise each morning with a common goal
To try and succeed 
To be a victor & not defeated

Tonight, he said, "Goodbye."
Many are feeling defeated but that shouldn't be the case 
For this is only a time to tighten our shoestrings & finish the race 
With heads held high & a steady pace 

With a stride that will be a glide of hope in your fellow brothers eyes. 

Yes, it's true.. Tonight, he said, "Goodbye."
But it's not the end for you & I.
