Barack Obama: Seven Songs For America

"Let Us Be" is now available on the album, "Seven Songs For America." (This is the "rough cut.")

Inspired by Barack Obama and his supporters, the composers, performers and producers strongly believe the momentum that is transforming lives around the world needs an inspirational sound track. "Seven Songs" captures the spirit of America during these history-making times. Co-produced by Jon and Joe Bergevin (best known as Bergevin Brothers Music) and Matt Cameron of Pearl Jam, the album features original songs performed by Seattle's Pastor Pat Wright and her Total Experience Gospel Choir.

"Fired Up, Ready to Go" was the first song inspired by Barack Obama's candidacy and was followed by "Rise Up, Daylight Breaks." In response to the tremendous outpouring of support with comments like "This should be the campaign song" and "Where can I buy this amazing music," those involved agreed to expand the project leading to "Seven Songs for America."

In honor and recognition of this spirit, all proceeds from "Seven Songs" will go to support Pastor Pat Wright's ministry to rebuild the lives and homes of Katrina victims in Mississippi and Louisiana. Pastor Wright was honored for her work on behalf of Katrina survivors when she was named an ABC 2007 person of the year for her ministry.

Beach Saint Productions is pleased to produce this video as a public service. It is a rare opportunity and honor to highlight the illuminating music created, produced and performed by everyday Americans in honor of Barack Obama's amazing and historic campaign. The music is a testament to the power of his influence for positive change. The photos used are from the BarackObamaDotCom site on Flickr and are borrowed under a Creative Commons permission.

"Let Us Be"

(Home sweet home, home sweet home, home sweet home, home sweet home)
We're standing shoulders strong
Lifted by common ground
When our voices ring
The world will hear us sing
A chorus that shouts from sea to sea
This is our home.
We always stand up to meet each test
We believe peace will bring out our best
Holding out hope so faithfully
McCartney said let it be
...Let it be,
Let us be a book in the hand
Let us be good stewards of land
Let us be a blanket at night
Let us be...
Let us be a strong constitution
Let us be the better solution
Let us show the world that we care
Let us be

Building up others, we rise up
Now sisters and brothers, we're fired up
While each candle glows
We watch the fire grow
The love from our hearts pours on this land
This land is our home
We want our child to know the best love
We give and we give, then we rise above
With each of our private prayers
We sense each other there
...Let us be
Let us be the mother at night (Home sweet home)
Let us be the end to the fight (Home sweet home)
Let us be the change that we seek
Let us be... (Sweet Home, sweet home, sweet home)
Let us be the faith of us all (Home sweet home)
Let us be judgment at a 3am call (Home sweet home)
Let us be where the heart is at home
...Let us be
