What I Want in a President

What I want in a president
Is a leader without pretense
That, though power is self-evident
It's the people he represents

I want to elect one who unites us whole
With strong vision and moral character
Showing patriotism in their role
And valiant courage that will not waver

I want to elect one who fully loves us
And God has put words in his mouth to say
That is the person I will trust
To lead us unto a brighter day

Does such a person exist
To stand firm and incorruptible
Perhaps if our prayers persist
We'll have a leader that's incredible

Perhaps if each day there's a new shadow
To help him remember who we are
There'll be less temptation and grand show
And he'll rise up as our shining star


Let these shadows be young
That the next generation will know
How leadership is best hung
Upon humble backs where true strength grows
