now, some of you may have already heard this song before....some of you may not have. granted, i'm sure the artist meant this to be seen as a love song....but the lyrics are oh so fitting for the times we are living in (post-election). so here goes.....(with a few edits)....


[From ME to the FNM]
You understand me.....at least you say you do.
Lately that's enough for me.
Looking for perfect.....surrounded by artificial.
You're the closest thing to real I see.
Sure, everyone has their problems.....that's a given.
Yours are the easiest to tolerate.
This wasn't what we were wanting.......how we're living.
Let's take this good enough and turn it to great.

[From the FNM to the PLP supporters/entire Bahamas]
PEOPLE understand...
This could only be as good as we both make it....
Yes, some times it's gonna hurt....
We could be as happy as we want to be FOLKS....
But we gotta make it work....
We gotta make it work....


Sometimes I love you......more than you'll ever know.
Other times you get on my nerves.
That's just reality........no it cant always be
Kisses, hugs & beautiful words.
You was looking for your prince....what you found
Is a pauper with potential.
And no, I'm nowhere near perfect, but I'm around.....
FOLKS, time & patience is essential.


PEOPLE realize...
This could only be as good as we both make it....
Yes, some times it's gonna hurt....
We could be as happy as we want to be FOLKS....
But we gotta make it work....
We gotta make it work....


Thick and thin...
The bad outweighs the good sometimes...
That doesn't mean we're 'spose to give it up...
My problems are yours, and yours are mine...


PEOPLE understand...
This could only be as good as we both make it....
Yes, some times it's gonna hurt....
We could be as happy as we want to be FOLKS....
But we gotta make it work....
We gotta make it work....

Yeah we need one of those "hands across America" moments.

I rememba we did "hands across the Bahamas" before............. don't rememba what the reason was exactly. I think it was when A. Allen was Min of Youth.

It was led I think by Tiny Turnquest and Sir Durwood...
I was young then, but they couldn't find a common cause...Junkanoo was rejected by certain people and that whole high tea thing was an issue.
