lyrics

I’ve made a lot of motion
I do a lot of things
my baby crossed an ocean
I miss his company

I’ve got a lot to think on
what am I doing here
and could I do it better
or else just disappear

I miss Barack Obama
I miss the way it was
to have a president
I looked upon with grace and love

you never see it coming
you never see it clear
but it was really something
and now it’s really here

I’ve got a little while
I’ve got the time I need
I’ve got the stitches ready
in case I start to bleed

they say the pen is mighty
I say the pen is truth
it keeps me honest and alive
no matter what I do

I really hit the jackpot
I really struck the gold
born a white girl
with a healthy chance of growing old

but if I leave the country
I’ll see a sinking ship
I haven’t done enough to fight
and I’m ashamed of it

I make a lot of motion
I do a lot of things
my baby crossed an ocean
