The We Are The Ones Song

by will.i.am, March 2 @435 [edit entry]

people say Obama’s words are just words...
but...
when was the last time "words" weren’t important...???...

when was the last time a great leader didn’t use words to lead...??...
when was the last time a person didn’t use words to describe how they felt...?...
when was the last time "words" weren’t empowering...?...

and we can all recall the last time "words" were used to divide us and install fear...

Bush used words to fear us into voting for him the second time around...
terror this...
terror that...
nuclear here...
weapons of mass destruction there...

and those words effected a lot of people’s choices...

"enough is enough"...
let’s rebuild...

let’s change ourselves...
let’s allow positivity to guide us...

let's take action....
let’s activate our passion...
we are Americans....

and this is the first time in forever that someone running for president represents "US"...

some say this is all excitement...
I call it “proud to be an American”...

some say this whole Obama movement is "cult like"...
well...
if it comes across cult like...
then...
the cult is called America...

the Obama movement is connecting America.
and it has made "US" realize our importance...
the youth is excited and activated...
adults are passionate and motivated...
the elderly are proud to know the country they built is in safe hands...

we are one...

for too long politics has been corrupt...
separate from the American people...
with agendas that go against what the American people "need"...
education...
health...
safety...
jobs
etc...

politicians have spoken a different language...
making it so the youth and poor people feel as if voting was only for the wealthy and old people...
making "US" feel as if "we" had no voice...
making "US" feel powerless...
making it feel like if "we" did vote it wouldn’t change anything...

but wait...
that did happen...
some of us voted, and it didn’t change anything...

we were in the dark...
we had no voice...
we were powerless...

because America was not a united America...
and "they" spoke a different language...
and they had an agenda different from our well being...

correct me if I’m wrong... or speak up if I’m missing something...

we want education, health, safety, and good jobs...right???...
oh yeah...
and "a healthy planet to live on"...

but here we are...

in a war... poor education... poor health programs... the dollar is down... the planet, polluted...
the rich, richer... and the poor, struggling...
with sky high gas prices to top it all off...

and now even the rich aren't really rich internationally because our dollar is has fallen so far down...

in our slumber... a very small few got really rich...

because when you’re sleeping...

"it’s hard to change agendas"...

we know what happened in 2000 and 2004...
but in 2008...
it’s different...

we are awake...
and there is a movement...

and "it’s hard to change a movement"...

last time "we" didn’t have a movement...
America wasn’t united...

and now "United and "Standing"...for something...
we know the power of "US"...
and we have a person who represents the "U.S."...

"US"…

"we are the ones we’ve been waiting for"...

I’m proud to be an American...

respect to our family,friends even ourselfs !!!! it s killin' us!!!slowly and
painfully.i hope that OBAMA will change America and WORLD!!!!
when HE talks about AMREICA and AMERICANS HE doesn't just say it to
become a president and to become rich and too have power!!!
HE IS SAYING IT WITH HIS HEART!!!!!HE IS THE ONE WHO WILL MAKE
ALL PEOPLE HAPPY!!!!!!!!!MAYBE I'M CRAZY!!!!! BUT WITH ALL DO RESPECT I M SAYING NOW:HE WILL CHANGE THE WORLD!!!!!!
even if i'm younger then you but I'M PROUD OF YOU!!!
you just stand for your country by helping OBAMA and AMERICA!!!
YOU RE PROUD!!!!

maybe this words will mean you nothing
LOVE is what AMERICA REALLY NEEDS!!!!!!
RESPECT is what AMERICA REALLY NEEDS!!!!!!
and the most important what AMERICA needs is HOPE!!!!!!!
AND YES WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!!
OBAMA OPENED OUR HEARTS AND YOU TOO!!!
YOU,willy my cuttest and dearest boy,SHOWED US WHAT LOVE IS!!!
YOU STAND FOR AMERICANS!!!
YOU FOUGHT AGAINST FALSE HOPE!!
YOU SHOWED US THE WAY TO LOVE!!
YOU POINTED US TO OBAMA TO SHOW US HIS LOVE!!

I LOVE YOU!!!!!AND I ALWAYS WILL!

PEACE,BROTHER!!!!

Speaking of words not being just words. My brothers and I wrote a new song called "Rise Up, Daylight Breaks". We're also the composers and creators of "Fired Up, Ready To Go".

You can see our preview for the up and coming musical video on YouTube.

Also listen to and download the new song at

yeh, but will...
i know where your coming from my man, but hillary clinton is doing alot too...if you think about it, america is gonna be split in half...half support hillary clinton and the other half Barack Obama - so tell me, what will happen say if hillary won this vote... then the people that support Barack Obama are then gonna be mad cuz they wanted him to win.

so, i think people should be careful.

and im so glad that for once america has had the chance to speak up and have a say in this...you know??

just make sure that america dose not end up in a lil war about who has won...-i know it sounds silly and stuff, but just make sure it don't happen..lol..

anywaz....i wish ya (love) and (peace)

AND WILL:
im not trying to have a fight with you about this (hell no)- i luv ya too much for that..

.
im just trying to give ideas and stuff.

i hope who ever wins the votes makes america an even more fantastic place than it already is..
like you said:
with the money side of things and stuff.

so, i hope america changes for the best...

..

luv ya will..thanks for the journal..xx..

Hey from a fan in England, the unofficial 51st state...lol...Was blown away by your song and video for 'Obama,Yes We Can' and I'm just about to cut the final version of a song in support of the President-in-waiting. I'm 'no-one' famous, but that doesn't really matter, does it...How about forming a tour of the States in the election campaign to come - I could be the UK novelty act and get to hear everyone say 'I lurvve your accent' LOL But seriously, a coalition...I noticed the Bregevin Bros have also written a song...we'd get to assist the best prospect for US and world leadership AND strut our stuff on stage...let me know if you're interested and I'll get you a copy. It's ll be up on MySpace next week www.myspace.com/ketzalco I'm inspired and impressed by your passion. All the best, Ketzalco

Will.
I love you.
I love the way you picked those words up there. They are powerful & true. I'm not American & I'm far from being old enough to vote but still I support Obama's politics because I know it can change America, but not just America - the whole world too. America has so much influence on other countries that it's like we're somehow picking a "World president"
I could talk and talk and I'll still keep showing the support. I'm proud there is a man that is truly representing your country & I really want him as a president because of his meaningful speeches & but also because of many other things.

I'm proud you are supporting him. You are such a big man - as him.
Ily. Yes, we can. We are the ones.

Happy B'Day Will<3
Croatia loves you!

Hey William, How are you doing?
I am a big fan of yours, I love to listen to your songs.

You are a very intelligent composer, really love your songs.

William, I am just wondering, can you make an album with your same songs but without the restriction of parental control. I love to listen to your songs but not being able to do it because of some of the lyrics that require parental control.

I appreciate your work William,
Take care, this is raja ...

YES WE CAN...

We are in times of challenges and we need to be joined so that our voice “YES WE CAN” either really fixed in the mind and the heart of the people.It is not easy task. It is a fight continues. A true challenge. But we believe the love and the union between the people.
Independent to be or not American we need to believe that our attitudes can YES in them bring a better and worthier world for all the nations.
WILL my love! I support you…
You with your voice and your music support the world…
Obama with your words makes solid everything what we want!
We go to fight together…and that it has equipped INCREDIBLE we are!
We always go to nurture our idea tirelessly:YES WE CAN
WILL! I LOVE YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH!!
Thanks for the WONDERFUL man who you are!
