There have been times in my life
I've been wondering why
Still somehow I believed
We'd always survive
Now I'm not so sure
You're waiting to hear
One good reason to try
But what more can I say
What's left to provide
You think that maybe it's over
Only if you want it to be
Are you gonna wait for your sign, your
miracle
Stand up and fight
This is it
Make no mistake where you are
This is it
Your back's to the corner
This is it
Don't be a fool anymore
This is it
The waiting is over
No room to run
No way to hide
No time for wondering why
It's here
The moment is now
About to decide
Let him believe
Or leave him behind
But keep me near in your heart
And know, whatever you do
I'm here by your side
You said that maybe it's over
Not if you don't want it to be
For once in your life, here's your miracle
Stand up and fight
This is it
Make no mistake where you are
This is it
You're going no further
This is it
Until it's over and done
No one can tell you what you know
Who makes the choice of how it goes
It's not up to me this time
You know
There comes a day in every life
This is it
Make no mistake where you are
This is it
You're going no further
This is it
Until it's over and done
This is it
One way or another
This is it
No one can tell what the future holds
This is it
Your back's to the corner
This is it
You make the choice of how it goes
This is it
The waiting is over
This is it
No one can tell what the future holds
This is it

[NanceGreggs]

5. Okay, is it just ME?

Is this not the coolest day to be alive?

[BrklynLiberal]

6. Absolutely!!!!!!!!!!!

[NanceGreggs]

10. The air is electrified already ...

... and it's got me buzzed.

Glad to share it with you, BryklnLiberal!

(BTW, native Brooklynite here!)

[BrklynLiberal]

11. I live near Coney Island. My sister lives in Park Slope.

Which area did you live in??


I have a good friend who lives outside of Toronto. She lives in Sutton West.

[NanceGreggs]

12. I lived in Ridgewood ...

... which is right on the Brooklyn-Queens borderline. My mother's entire family lived in that same neighbourhood for decades - some of my relatives are still there.

My parents moved to Long Island (Bayshore) when I was five or six - yes, according to family lore, they had chosen to live in the hinterlands, somewhere behind God's back ...

[BrklynLiberal]

25. It is funny how what was once considered the "hinterlands" is now a nearby suburb.

I worked at a place in Manhattan where there were several people who commuted every day from Pennsylvania!!!!

[cliffordu]

7. nance - I feel like I'm finally coming home after being a refugee in my own country.

I am not a fool.I understand that the work will be difficult.

[NanceGreggs]

8. Welcome home ...

:hug:

Welcome home ...

[cliffordu]

9. Thanks....

:hug:

[TomInTib]

13. Hell, and I thought I go on....

This is It.

Make no mistake about it.

This is It.

I'm willing to fight about it.

This is It.

Ain't no turnin' away from it.

This is It.

Let's learn and do something about it.

This is It.

This is It.

This is It.

[NanceGreggs]

14. Yup, this IS IT ...

... aren't you glad we're in this together?

:toast:

[TomInTib]

15. Yep. But when it all goes down....

you're gonna have to wear black.

Trust me on this.

The Red will have to stay in the trunk.

Take it out, maybe, when we get to Chiapas.

We will all be playing Flamenco, dying our hair black.

[NanceGreggs]

18. Sorry, got my red shoes all ready ...

... and I'll be wearing 'em all across America, danglin' my Size 5's out the passenger side window, wavin' them like a flag.

Been strainin' at the leash too long - can't wait to be free again.

[TomInTib]

20. Free at Last! God God A'Mighty, We'll be Free at Last!

I'll drive the Cruiser.

Gotta have room for Guitars and SweetHearts.

Cobalt Blue Scarves, wrapped around Red Heels

And some Angel from Amarillo

Will be helping us to keep it on the road...

[NanceGreggs]

21. I'm in ...

... but then you knew that all along, didn't you?

[TomInTib]

22. When I was a child, I spoke as a child...

And they told me there was nothing in ramblin'...

I did not believe them, then.

And I do not believe them, now.

There's something in ramblin'...

New Roads

New Now

Nation Time

The Revolution just might be televised... (my apologies to Gil Scott Heron).

Those starving rats will have to move on down the street.

They won't be feeding off us. anymore.

17. You're right. This is a moment of truth.

This it the time to see whether our country will change for the better. I am hoping with every fiber of my being that we do get that chance.
