January 4, 2007: The Hour That The Ship Comes In

And like Pharaoh's tribe, They were drownded in the tide, And like Goliath, they were conquered. AP reports: Democrats take control of the U.S. Congress from President George W. Bush's Republicans on Thursday, seeking a phased withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq and help for America's needy. (…) In a history-making moment, Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, was set to be elected the first woman to head the 218-year-old House of Representatives as its speaker. Oh the foes will rise With the sleep still in their eyes And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'. But they'll pinch themselves and squeal And know that it's for real, The hour when the ship comes in.
