Moving Forward
We must move forward in a different direction
That’s why we made this presidential selection
He knows how to do it true and right
We can move sideways and keep forward in sight
Where will the destination be
Will we end up windward or lee
We don’t know, do we now
Presidential we’re not, so we don’t know how
But I’m always willing to try, are you?
I’ll move forward without a single clue
I need not know where forward is
Because that is the Prez’ biz
Following along, mustn’t be dismayed
For this is how the position is played
What position -- you surely aren’t asking me
I’ll never know how it came to be
July 5, 2009: President Obama: “We must move forward in a different direction.â€
