Until God spoke
For us this race
It was years after slavery
And decades of segregation
We waited for this day
To seal our freedom
So on we waited for the man
Who gradually climbed the ladder of success
He was perfect in speech
Majority of the world endorsed him
And he emerged as the victor
So when it was all over
He stood before us
Black and white
And gave a speech
That will remain for a lifetime
All faces were wet
Not forgetting Opera
Each sharing the tears of joy
It was a night of a thousand tears
