Nathan May - Gonna Meet That Man Someday Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I saw him on the front page, watched him on TV
It was like the world was changing, least it seemed that way to me
I was a young kid in the Top End, he was a million miles
But I remember telling [?], "I'm gonna meet that man someday"

[Verse 2]
My life coulda rode on, it coulda stayed the same
'Til someone stood beside me, said it's time to leave that train
It was two years later, I was seventeen
He was coming to Winnellie in the Northern Territory

[Verse 3]
Darwin was a circus, choppers over town
Road blocks at the RAAF Base, big bird touching down
As we came from Marrara, the crowds were closing in
It felt like a long shot that I'd even catch a glimpse

[Verse 4]
That's when Judith in her wheelchair said, "You lot follow me"
Got past the Secret Service right up to VIP
And there he was and when I saw him, I never will forget
I just yelled out, "Barack," and we met
(I'm gonna meet that man someday)

[Verse 5]
Put his hand right on my shoulder, said, "Where you go to school?"
Asked me what my name was and what I plan to do
I said that I had no idea, he said there's nothing you can't do
Then he was up the stairs of Air Force One and off into the blue
[Outro]
Gonna meet that man someday
I'm gonna meet that man someday
I'm gonna meet that man someday
I'm gonna meet that man someday
