If we cannot end now our differences,
at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.
For in the final analysis,
our most basic common link
is that we all inhabit this small planet.
We all breathe the same air.
We all cherish our children's future,
and we all are mortal.
Walk with me along this sunny lane.
We can lose our fears and ease our pain.
Walk with me and you will see that our lives were meant to be.
And just a touch of love will make us free.
Close your
eyes and see the flowers there.
See the flowers there.
Take a breath and smell how sweet the air.
Walk with me,
walk with me and you will see that our lives were meant to be.
And just a touch of love will make us free.
Make us free,
make us free.
Free from all our troubles.
Free from all our cares.
Free from all the people who always stop and stare.
We don't care.
Walk with me.
Walk with me along this sunny lane.
Down this sunny lane.
We can lose our fears and ease our pain.
Walk with me.
Walk with me and you will see that our lives were meant to be.
And just a touch of love will make us free.
Make us free.
Walk with me.
And so, my fellow Americans,
ask not what your country can do for you.
Ask what you can do for your country.
My fellow citizens of the world,
ask not what America will do for you,
but what together we can do for the freedom of man.
Finally,
whether you're citizens of America or citizens of the world,
ask of us here the same high standards of
strength and sacrifice which we ask of you.
With a good conscience, our only sure reward,
let history be the final judge of our deeds.
Let us go forth to lead the land we love,
asking his blessing and his help.
But knowing that here on earth,
God's work must truly be our own.
