Times have been hard
You can see the people hurting
But the sun is peeking through
a macrame curtain
Population’s facing change
future seems uncertain
We’d be insane to let the gains slip away
We need a leader
Who can handle heavy freight
Dewater, run an office, pave,
And make it look great
A city needs a keel
To keep it real
How do you provide
for all sides
Keep on keepin’ on
Mayor Vaughan
Born in Union City
In the nineteen sixtes
A turbulent time
With problems unresolved still
Dad’s a major coach
Watch his daughter grow
Learns to manage teams
Like her daddy did the ACC
She warn’t born with a silver key
Sweet apples drop from serious trees
She can install industrial laundry
Or crack a lack of parking
Mack trucks stacking concrete
We want to be free
We want to be safe
We love to share but
We all want our own space
We want to work well
Some want to raise hell
How do you provide
for all sides
Keep on keepin’ on
Mayor Vaughan
Baraka means the gifts
The blessings from the Lord
Barakat is singular
A blessing to the city’s poor
The function of society
Is for security
For children to grow
Many things matter but this comes before
In difficult times
A mayor needs to set some lines
With compassion and a human bond
We’re blessed with Nancy Vaughan
