In bustling day when action I took
For exuberance near I looked and looked
I adverted to a roaring noise
And energized wails of pleasant voice.
That bold sound of "See!" and "See!"
Let no man know is what set me free.

I, starting up, did see a sign,
And to my God I thought divine
Would let me know what world was this
And would not leave me succorless.

I looked up to see each candidate,
And did not know at all what this meant.
Wond'red I have since my birth
Say now, have women worth?
Surely, in this time, they do,
This world that I am sure confused.
For in front of me were several names
On a piece of paper that was surely great
And on this paper I could choose
Exactly who must or mustn't lose.
Oh my, oh my, I could vote!
And, you must believe, I surely wrote.
I wrote who should win and who would serve me best
And voted with the beliefs from within my chest.
Who will win? Tell would time.
All would wait for those bells to chime.

Clocks did turn and started the day
That the whole would learn who'd stand in the archway
Arose my eyes, so startl'd to see
Who the new President would actually be
For that winning President was surely a matron,
And was strong and sincere like a patron.

The women these days are compelling and full of power
But the way they remember His name is sour.
In this time people don't remember
That savior who was born in December
Who I shall devote to prayer and love
And always think of Him above.

No pleasant tale shall e'er be told
For my past is all I know.
I want to live for Him
I want to work for Him
I want to offer Him gold
For He will never think me old.
With Him I am never alone
Nor am I cold.

My life I continue living
And keep the angels above me singing
For I am not a part of this world
And shall forever see my past as pearled.
