Does this song make it onto the next CD or not? Help me decide.
Here’s the lyrics:
I remember the first time a man stepped out on the moon
I can still hear the silence from everyone in the room
After the Giant Leap for Mankind was complete
Someone found a word to speak, he said, “Unbelievable”
Unbelievable
But, JFK believed, when others could not see
Once spoken out loud a vision lives out its destiny
Because of those who dare conceive something that feels unreachable
The rest of us receive the unbelievable, Unbelievable
The first African American President
Told a nation “Yes we can” brimming with confidence
Crowds of people cheered, many shed tears
I heard someone very clear say, “Unbelievable”
Unbelievable
But, Martin Luther King had a dream, when others could not see
Once spoken out loud a vision lives out its destiny
Because of those who dare conceive something that feels unreachable
The rest of us receive the unbelievable, Unbelievable
Have you tied something in your heart, afraid it won’t come true
Don’t you know many others have felt that same way, too
But those ideas, bigger than you, carry all of humanity
Once spoken out loud, a vision lives out its destiny
Because of those who dare conceive something that feels unreachable
The rest of us receive the unbelievable
Because of those who dare conceive something once thought unthinkable
Proves once again, anything is possible
Unbelievable?
Anything is possible
Unbelievable?
Anything is possible
Anything is possible

This song is absolutely awesome. It raises my hope for the future even higher - my own personal future and that of our country and the world. I am 63 and the best is yet to come! You are truly inspired. I see your creativity flowing to bless many many people and bring prosperity to you as well.
Cliff, I just recently received an email from you, I don’tknow how that came about but I’m very glad it did. I recently bought an iPod intended for audiobooks only but your music will be on it as well! Also plan to share with friends, most of whom are much younger than I, also many just young at heart.

Hey Cliff,
Love and song, words and the music — I did have a hard time making out all the words with the music sound track overwhelming your voice. Love to hear it in person sometime.
Love You Brother,
Frank

I agree with the last two comments. It’s an awesome song and lyrics are very touching, but was hard to understand behind the music. I had to read the lyrics to get it all. I know that can be fixed and would love to see it on your next CD. Love and Blessings, Stephanie

I like the idea but conscious language teaches what we say comes into being. If we way unbeleivable we will not beleive it. Your song is about believing this is possible. You may change it to beleivable. Or start out unbeleivable and during the course of the song it becomes beleivable. I was hoping for more accentuation of the “Unbeleivable” verse in the song but it almost seems to fade out also accentuate the “Yes we can” more. I want to here the song and beleive by the end. Thank you for asking my opinion Cliff. Happy New Year 2009

I think this is the best one I’ve heard yet! Great, snappy tune and fabulous lyrics. You rock, Cliff!

Your work continues to inspire - The song has an upbeat message. I agree with Deena about the use of the word unbelievable — it doesn’t seem unbelievable to me that we have an african american president –my thought would be- ‘it’s about time’. You may want to bounce this in front of a diverse group to see how it resonates. I’d like to hear the word(s) believable/possible connected with the presidency. You’re very creative - thank you for using your talent to bring joy and thank you for sharing.

I liked the song a lot, Cliff, and think you’ve really hit on how many people feel about Obama being elected president. If we think about it based on politics as usual, it seems a bit unbelievable. Naturally, I’m very enthused about his win partly because we went to the same high school. My only suggestion would be to finish the song with the words such as “it’s believable” to help punctuate the shift to accepting what once seemed unbelievable.

You rock brother…very Cliff Rubin, very powerful and from your heart ! I would change the ending to “it’s believable…”
