Originally posted as "Something About The Man" this version was remixed to include some of Barack Obama's first "Yes We Can" speech. Academy Award nominated composer lyricst Arthur Hamilton (Cry Me A River), 5-time Latin Grammy Award winning producer Kenny O'Brien, and composer/songwriter Alan Ross Fleishman have collaborated to celebrate this inspiring leader.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE MAN

In the tunnel it's so dark
That we don't know where we are
Somewhere up ahead there's a man
With a flashlight in his hand

Something about the man makes me want to follow him
He can lead us all the way back home
All the way back home

Something about the man says we got to follow him
He can carry us
He can walk us
He can take us
He can talk us
All the way back home
All the way back home

Something tells me he can show the way
Shine the way
Something says if we don't know the way
He'll find the way
All the way back home

Something about the man makes me stand up tall
Tells me no matter what I'm gonna get through it all
Something about the man makes me see the light
Tells me no matter what he's gonna make things right

There is something about the man
That tells me he knows what to do
He's gonna pull us up
Pull us out
Pull us free
Pull us through

A lot needs doin' and if anyone can
That man can do it.
Something about the man
Something about the man
Something about the man

  • I'm about to unblock many of the comments I've been receiving so visitors to this song's page can witness the hate I've been filtering from the site. I've decided now that the song can better be viewed in this new context so that his supporters can see the racism that has crippled his efforts to make our world a safer, saner, more humane place. Ironic isn't it that these same haters are the ones he continues to try to reason with.

  • Obama in the end is a farce and a liar he is nothing but another war mongering neocon tool and many like me regret voting for him.

  • we have been screwed,things couldnt have gotten much worse thanks to bush,but atleast now things are geting better each day with this man in the seat,i feel safe & proud to be American =)

  • FUCK YOU USA...!!!

  • Wow, I haven't seen this kind of brilliance in marketing since Scientology!

  • If you love this country drop your party alignment and pray for him.

  • and we're all screwed...

  • learjetflyboy, I could be wrong, but I think Obama really does care about the people and will do everything he can to help us all.

  • This video/song moves me every time I watch it. It's a perfect description of the qualities of calm and focus with which our President leads us, inspiring and instilling in us hope, confidence and promise for a brighter futurewe are on our way to that better place now, thanks to him.
