In an exclusive story, RollingScone has uncovered the formerly secret lyrics to the Barack Obama Inauguration Theme Song. The song, which was chosen in a contest won by little known soul singer Lady D, will be played on Tuesday during the Inauguration. The inspirational melody was inspired by John Mayer's "Waiting on the World to Change," "You're the Best" by Joe Esposito and the intro is a direct keyboard homage to "Final Countdown" by Europe.
The previously unknown lyrics to Lady D's "Go Higher."
To all the spirits gone before us,
to all the ones who know us,
we've been here waiting,
waiting for a change.
A change in all of our lives,
a change coming 'cuz of our cries,
embodied in just one man,
a man who says, yes we can!
Obama's the best, around
nothings gonna ever keep Barack down,
Obama's the best around
nothings gonna ever keep him down.
Obama's gonna change the nation,
gonna fix the economy,
reverse global warming,
clean up Iraq and spark world harmony.
Obama's gonna outlaw all things that are bad,
like crying babies, and clowns that are sad.
No more murder, guns or divorce,
What about healthcare? Universal, of course!
Obama's gonna fix the BCS,
Obama's gonna join the Washington Wizards
and win an NBA championship
then he's gonna become a wide reciever for the Redskins,
and catch 200 catches, and win the MVP and a Super Bowl,
then he's gonna fly to Pakistan and use his x-ray vision to find Bin Laden
and then he's gonna star in his very own motion picture and it'll gross 500 million dollars
and then when the aliens come, Obama's gonna fight them off with his bare hands, and blow up the Alien's mothership with his Change Power and then he's -
'cuz Obama's the best, around
nothings gonna ever keep him down.
'cuz Obama's the best, around
nothings gonna ever keep him down.
(guitar solo)
Fight! till you drop,
never stop! You can't give up!
Until you reach the top! (Fight!)
You're the best in town! (Fight!)
Listen to that sound! (Fight!)
A little bit of all you got, will never bring you down!
'cuz Obama's the best, around
nothings gonna ever keep him down.
'cuz Obama's the best, around
nothings gonna ever keep him down.
'cuz Obama's the best, around
nothings gonna ever keep him down. (Nothing!)
'cuz Obama's the best, around
nothings gonna ever keep him down. (Nothing!)
