Politics-ish.

Satt igår och försökte komma på en lyckad text till ett riff jag jobbade på. Efter några textrader kom texten plötsligt att handla om Barack Obama, delvis. Det var inte alls meningen, men det blev några fina verser av det, tycker jag. Jag vet dock inte ännu om jag vill sätta in texten i någon låt, och bli en politisk låtskrivare. Här är alstret i alla fall:

I thought he would change the world
I thought he could make a difference
I thought his voice would be heard
I thought he could make them listen

But as times changed, so did he
The wine slowly turned to water
And left are but memories
Of what he set out to be

I listened to this man speak
His words, they had so much meaning
but now those words just seem weak
I look for a new beginning

So where is that guiding light
The one who brings change that matters
Maybe it's dumb to rely
On one man to climb the ladder

Maybe it's up to us all
No matter what age and origin
To hear and to answer the call
And improve this world in the long haul
