I really should be asleep right now, but I’m a little too wired from watching too much CSPAN to sleep, so I am listening to the rebroadcast of tonight’s speech. 
I decided to go online to see if Sen. Obama’s speech has been posted yet so that I could link it to my blog. His youtube site doesn’t have it up yet, but as soon as it is, I am going to post it here. 
Until then, I am going to post a few pictures from tonight as well as a video of The Winans singing one of my favorites, “It’s Been A Long Time Coming.” The lyrics are posted below the video.
It’s Been A Long Time Coming – The Winans
It’s been a long time comin’, but a change is gonna come
I’ve waited through the evening, tell me when will I see the sun
It’s been a long time comin’, but a change is gonna come
I’ve waited through the evening, tell me when will I see the sun
Looking back in retrospect
Things I desired thought I’d never get
Wanting my dreams to happen right away
But in your waiting, the lesson you learned
Patience must have her perfect turn
When you got low you could hear the Spirit say…
It’s been a long time comin’, but a change is gonna come
I’ve waited past midnight, wonder when will I see the sun
Satan tried to force it loose
Friends came and said “what’s the use”
Oh but I kept holdin’ on, not even knowing why
Well, now you can speak from experience
What God said He’d give, you’ll certainly get
Even now you can hear the Spirit cry
Secrets the Lord imparts
Keep them close to you heart
Don’t ever let them die
Make them the apple of your eye
(repeat)
Secrets
It’s been a long time comin’, (so long) but a change is gonna come
I’ve waited till the morning, now I finally see the sun
The message in this simple song is to keep on holdin’
Holdin’ on, Holdin’ on
Till you see the sun, you gotta keep on holdin’
Holdin’ on, Holdin’ on
Till you see the sun just keep on
Holdin……on, till you finally see the sun you gotta keep on
Holdin’ on, Holdin’ on
Till you see the sun
It’s too late to give up now
God is going to answer your prayers
So you gotta keep on holdin’ on
It’s too late to give up now
Just a little bit too late (fade out)
