We've got some difficult days ahead.

And I don't mind. Like any man,
I would like to live a long life.

I just want to do God's will.
And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain.
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.
