"We just everyday people trying to make it through the pain," she sings in the song's lone verse. "Yet we intentionally hurt each other playing silly games. But when it comes down to win or lose, don't give up the fight. Strength is what we need, and love can save our lives." She cautions, "So when you're down and frustrated let em all keep debating because we gonna win."
The rest of the song is a series of gospel-tinged chants of declarations like "I know we can bring it home!" and "Bring it, bring it, bring it," and at one point (02:25) Carey breaks out her trademark high-pitched whistle.
Carey reveled in Obama's victory in a series of tweets throughout Tuesday night. Earlier, she posted several photos showing her at her polling place. "Congratulations to our beloved President Barack Obama, our spectacular First Lady Michelle Obama and the adorable Malia and Sasha," she wrote. "We love you!"
After watching Obama's acceptance speech well past midnight, she offered this review: "Incredible speech. Watching in a room full of diverse people-all truly moved. Thank you America for President Obama - 4 more years."
