We've got some difficult days ahead.
But it doesn't matter with me now.

I would like to live a long life.
Longevity has its place.
But I'm not concerned about that now.
I just want to do God's will.

And I've looked over.
And I've seen the promised land.
I may not get there with you.
But I want you to know tonight, that we,
as a people, will get to the promised land.
