Boulevard of Broken Dreams

I can't really express how I feel today about last night's election, but the lyrics below seem to encompass a little of how I'm feeling. It's so difficult to keep the faith and keep hope alive during a time of great upheaval and disappointment. To those who are wondering what they can do, get involved. The DNC needs us more than ever. It needs us to pool our resources, spearhead projects, create enthusiasm even for non-presidential elections and it needs us to care.

Our chance now is to show the nation that this election was a catalyst for a broader movement and the mobilization of a generation to take charge of their government and take back power from a good old boys club who doesn't trust us, need us, or care about us.

Take back your country one day at a time. The day will arrive, sooner rather than later, when the majority of voters realize that they made a grave mistake by re-electing Bush. That's when we step up and take our country, our government and our values back.

We believe in diversity, in education, in awareness, in unity and in the future. We are the future. Let's make it count. Let's find ourselves on a lonely street, look for others to unite with and discover that we aren't so alone anymore.

Boulevard of Broken Dreams, by Green Day
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Blvd. of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everythings all right
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Blvd. of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a..

My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk away!
