What a day

It's been an amazing day. I've wanted to see Barack Obama in the White House for years now, and it's finally happened. I don't have the words to describe how I'm feeling about this. For the first time in my life, I've felt a passion for a politician and what they're trying to do for our country, and now that man is the most powerful man in the world. Let's see what he can achieve.

I've heard a song on CNN.com's coverage (which I've been watching rabidly all day long) that fit perfectly with how I'm feeling right now, so I thought I'd share it.



Lyrics:
I'm taking my freedom
Pulling it off the shelf
Putting it on my chain
Wearing it 'round my neck
I'm taking my freedom
Putting it in my car
Wherever I choose to go
It will take me far
I'm…

Chorus:
Living my life like it's golden
Living my life like it's golden
Living my life like it's golden
Living my life like it's golden
Living my life like it's golden, golden
(Repeat)

Verse 2:
I'm taking my own freedom
Putting it in my song
Singing loud and strong
Grooving all day long
I'm taking my freedom
Putting it in my stroll
I be high-stepping ya'll
Letting the joy unfold
I'm…

Chorus:
Living my life like it's golden
Living my life like it's golden
Living my life like it's golden
Living my life like it's golden
Living my life like it's golden, golden
(Repeat)

Verse 3:
I'm holding on to my freedom
Can't take it from me
I was born into it and it comes naturally
I'm strumming my own freedom
Playing the God in me
Representing His glory
Hope He's proud of me!
Yeah!

Chorus:
Living my life like it's golden
Living my life like it's golden (Hope he's proud of me!)
Living my life like it's golden
Living my life like it's golden
Living my life like it's golden, golden
(Repeat)

Hook:
Living my life, Like it's golden, golden, golden, golden, golden, golden
