August 29, 2008

Sky high.

I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra flyI couldn’t get into the party where Kanye played here in Denver but this song was running through my mind when I first woke. Damn, I’m tearing up just writing this. I don’t even have the words to describe my emotions after Barack Obama’s speech  hearing the stirring music, seeing Michelle Obama and the girls join him on stage, hearing the fireworks explode overhead matching the explosion in my heart.
‘Fore the day I die, I’ma touch the sky
[...]
Sky, Sky high
I’m, I’m sky high
Yeah! (Keep it rolling)
(Feels good to be home, baby! Feels good to be home!)– Kanye West, “Touch the Skyâ€Â
