I swear solemnly
Word order doesn’t mean much
When you are The One
Hope, change, Yes We Can

Crowds and change scare me

And the Queen of Soul
Wish I had her hat

Someday my sons will be mad
Crowds and change scare me
Yo Yo Oba-Ma
And the Queen of Soul
Wish I had her hat
My dad and I both felt that Yo-Yo Ma stole the show…until we found out the concert’d been canned the night before. Concern bout the cold snapping the string was in the air apparently. So, the Queen of Soul. Oh, the Queen of Soul. Wish you had her hat, too!

revival of faith;
future is bright.
