Forward (Music Video)

A brand new grassroots song and music video in support of President Obama’s re-election produced by the Executive Producer behind the iconic “Yes We Can” music video of 2008 with will.i.am.

Featuring: Ne-Yo, Herbie Hancock, Johnny Rzeznik, Delta Rae, Natasha Bedingfield Director: Graham Henman Producer: Fred Goldring

The Forward Song Project is a 100% grassroots effort and represents the best of what american democracy is all about: people voluntarily coming together and lending their time, talents, services and support behind a cause they truly feel passionate about.

It is not a pac or superpac, and it was not funded in any way by, nor was it produced at the request of or in coordination or consultation with, the Obama for America presidential campaign or any pac or superpac. we just went out and did this all by ourselves, and all on our own.

… because you only get what you give.

LYRICS

YOU CAN’T GIVE UP ON HOPE
EACH OTHER’S HAND WE HOLD
WE’RE ON A LONG HARD ROAD
BUT WE TRAVEL IT TOGETHER

WE PULL EACH OTHER UP
WE FILL EACH OTHER’S CUP
SO WE ALL HAVE ENOUGH
WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER

CAUSE OH WE’RE HALF THE WAY THERE
SO STAND UP IF YOU CARE

FORWARD – WE NEED TO MAKE OUR WAY
FORWARD – EACH AND EVERY DAY
FORWARD – YOU NEED TO VOTE AND SAY
KEEP US MOVING FORWARD

FORWARD – BUILDING EVERYDAY
FORWARD – YEAH, WE’RE ON OUR WAY
FORWARD – LET ‘EM HEAR YOU SAY
WE’LL MOVE THIS COUNTRY FORWARD

YES THINGS ARE STILL TOUGH NOW
BUT TAKE A MOMENT AND THINK HOW
WE’VE COME SO FAR AND WOW
WE DID IT ALL TOGETHER

FOR ALL AND NOT JUST SOME
FOR THE MANY NOT JUST ONE
AND WE’RE SO FAR FROM DONE
THERE’S A CLEARING IN THE WEATHER

NO TIME TO BACK DOWN
WE’RE ON OUR WAY TO HIGHER GROUND

FORWARD – WE NEED TO MAKE OUR WAY
FORWARD – EACH AND EVERY DAY
FORWARD – YOU NEED TO VOTE AND SAY
KEEP US MOVING FORWARD

FORWARD – BUILDING EVERYDAY
