I carried my next dream in a paper bag
Trading a week of my life for that coveted rag
Can't recall the exact moment it slipped away
Kept on walking, not looking back that day
Walked through the woods, stripped off all my clothes
Embracing the freedom, where nobody knows
Reached a river, dove right in
Swimming in Democratic tears, feeling the win
Into the river, I did dive
Swimming freely, feeling alive
Democratic tears in this stream
A beautiful day, a true dream
The high of the moment, a pure delight
On November 6th, everything felt right
The desired beginning, a fresh start
The morning of a new life, touching my heart
Walked through the woods, stripped off all my clothes
Embracing the freedom, where nobody knows
Reached a river, dove right in
Swimming in Democratic tears, feeling the win
Democratic tears refreshing, washing away
The doubts and fears of yesterday
On the way back I felt at peace
The rustling leaves, the gentle breeze
Into the river, I did dive
Swimming freely, feeling alive
Democratic tears in this stream
A beautiful day, a true dream
Swimming in Democratic tears, feeling the win
Let them cry, 'cause the changes begin
