Apologies if this has been posted, but I haven't seen it.

I wonder what the campaign will do with this effort? It is really well done.

1. I love this song! Hope they use it in an ad. It's great.

It's fun to imagine what a McCain song might sound like... maybe the losing tune on Price Is Right? :)

2. That was awesome!

The _backstory_ and the group's _MySpace page_ are interesting, too.

I'm sure Obama would just love it and use the song!

3. The Lyrics!

From their _MySpace page_.
And, might I add, this is now the featured song on my MySpace page!


Fired Up, Ready to Go

By: Bergevin Brothers Music

A slim man, arms stretched toward heaven
Looking up this soaring peak,
The crowd hushed and he did speak, he said
Fired Up, Ready to Go
The time is now, the world we know
Is greater than here where we stand, let’s
Join together, all our hands,
And lift each other up above
Let’s restore hope and love
For every woman, child and man,
We can do it, yes – we – can, we are…

Fired up, ready to go
Fi – ered – up , ready to go
Reach higher, up we will go
We are, fiiiiiiired up, ready to go

Bound by a common past
Ties that we have built to last
Some sacrifice, each man
All united, here we stand
We do believe, and we embrace
Everyone, creed, color, sex and race
We are here through other’s pain
And still we live the dream again
Working together, every day
We can change the world this way
All the struggles, smiles and pride
Lead us to the other side…we are

Fired up, ready to go
Fi – ered – up , ready to go
Reach higher, up we will go
We are, fiiiiiiired up, ready to go

(Choir sings call and response)
Fired Up
Fired Up – Ready to Go
Fired Up
Fired Up – Ready to Go
Fired Up
Fired Up – Ready to Go
Fired Up
Fired Up – Ready to Go

(16 bars of Guitar Solo…, then…)

We can do it, yes we can…We can do it, yes we can
(Simultaneously…)
We can do it, yes we can…We can do it, yes we can
They said this day would never come. They said our sights were set too high. You said the time has come to move beyond… move beyond, move beyond
Up the mountain one and all
Last man hears the front man’s call
Up toward where all can see
The beauty of equality, now we
Rise up, mornin’s come
The time is now, join everyone
The time has come to move beyond
To meet the challenges head on
Listen, learn and cross the lines, we will
Work to leave no one behind
With our hearts and with our minds we will
Reach the top and we will find, we are…

(1) Fired up, ready to go
Fi – ered – up , ready to go
Reach higher, up we will go
We are, fiiiiiiired up, ready to go
(2) Fired up, ready to go
Fi – ered – up , ready to go
Reach higher, up we will go
We are, fiiiiiiired up, ready to go
(3) Fired up, ready to go
Fi – ered – up , ready to go
Reach higher, up we will go
We are, fiiiiiiired up, ready to go
(4) Fired up, ready to go
Fi – ered – up , ready to go
Reach higher, up we will go
We are, fiiiiiiired up, ready to go

We can do it yes we can,
Every boy, girl, woman and man
Fired Up! Ready to Go.

5. That's OK

Thanks for the sentiment.

I'll kick it so more Obama-folk can see and listen to the rampant joy/hope-mongering.
