Some Say This is the End of the Trump Era

 

Some say this is the end of the Trump era

          Some with glee

          Some in mourning

 

Some say this is the beginning of the Biden era

          Some with glee

          Some in mourning

 

But I say that this is your era

          As it always was

          And always will be

 

And you realize that this is your era

          Sometimes with glee

          Sometimes in mourning

 

You need no leader, no master, no whip

          Obey yourself

          And lead yourself

 

You wear no one else’s name

          For you have yours

          And you are free

 

You are not defined by an era

          Define yourself

          And honor yourself

 

Make the picture of your hero

          A self-portrait

 

          Sometimes with glee

          Sometimes in mourning

 

But always you
