At Last!

A multitude of people
stood together in the cold
to witness as the new displaced the old

It was history in the making
something rare and hard to find:
another giant step for all mankind

All the world looked on in wonder
as the torch was passed along
to the one who took the vow
to keep the country safe and strong

As the promise of the future
came to sweep away the past
a grateful nation wept
and sang At Last!
