can you hear us holy man

As a fierce critic of Bush I feel strangely compassionate for this failed president. I wish him well as he exits.

I am proud that my kids will be the first generation to think a non-white president is no big deal. What a country!

When I was running today I was listening to 'Live Wood' by Paul Weller (great album to work out with btw). His song 'Holy Man' sums up our my hopes and fears.

Barrack is just a man, hopefully a great man, but just a man all the same. I wish we were able to go to the inauguration.

(Can you hear us) Holy Man by Paul Weller

Crystal words that hang so fine - but none will stop us falling

Pulling faster all the time - powerless to warnings

If you feel the hand of God - can you guide it holy man? But you are only flesh and blood - waiting too for judgement

Still saying! daddy dont weep momma dont cry

Everybody gets their time

Dont be sad dont be blue - pray for me

Ill do the same for you

Split the father and the son - hand words to ease them

If you have the hand of God - can you heal us holy man?

But you are only flesh and blood - waiting too for judgement

Still saying!Hang on tight hang on strong

How much longer can this go on

But dont be sad dont be blue - its one more thing set to confuse

Daddy dont weep momma dont cry

Every fear must have its time

Dont be sad dont be blue - pray for meIll do the same for you.

Can you bring the hand of god? Can you stop the killing? Get us back to hope and love - never more be needed -

Still saying!

Bloods gone bad bad to worse

Worse to bad and back again

But dont be sad dont be blue - its one more thing sent to confuse

Momma dont weep daddy dont cry

Every fear must have its time

Dont be sad dont be blue - pray for me Ill do the same for you.
