Cory Booker, the Democratic senator from New Jersey, has been speaking on the Senate floor for more than 24 hours and 19 minutes, setting the record for the longest speech in Senate history. "This is one of those moments when John Lewis would not sit still," he said. "I don't know what John Lewis would say right now" but he "would say something, he would do something." In 1957, Strom Thurmond (R-South Carolina) gave a civil rights speech that lasted 24 hours and 18 minutes.

Lyrics excerpt ...
...
[Verse 1]
Well you didn't wake up this morning
'Cause you didn't go to bed
You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red
The calendar on your wall
Is ticking the days off
You've been reading some old letters
You smile and think how much you've changed
All the money in the world
Couldn't buy back those days
[Chorus]
You pull back the curtains
And the sun burns into your eyes
You watch a plane flying
Across the clear blue sky
This is the day
Your life will surely change
This is the day
When things fall into place
[Verse 2]
You could've done anything
If you'd wanted
And all your friends and family
Think that you're lucky
But the side of you they'll never see
Is when you're left alone with the memories
That hold your life together like
Glue
