merely because we respect that person's
other ideas or accomplishments.

or in search for knowledge.

in what seems like just another ordinary day.

and suddenly everything around her seems so very precious.)

Hold back nothing,
Trust in the Light.

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

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.
