Lyrics
Verse 1
We bowed our heads to pray
Inauguration Day
Though our prayers had failed before
Verse 2
Our desire to start anew
Had brought me back to you
But just how different could it be
Refrain
The cold made you shiver by my side
Tears were falling from our eyes
Another new beginning
Can we get it right this time
We just have to keep on trying
'Cause even though we aren't always deserving
There is something worth preserving
This inauguration day
Verse 3
As the President took the oath
We held each other close
But oaths have been broken countless times
Verse 4
I kissed you on the mouth
Your lips were sweet and soft
Your warm breath thrilled me to my soul
Refrain
The dreams a winter's day can bring
But can they awaken in the spring?
Another new beginning
Can we get it right this time
We just have to keep on trying
'Cause even though we aren't always deserving
There is something worth preserving
This inauguration day
