I am wedded to the future
of this nation,
to what is written in her genes
and expressed in her spirit.
Her future is my future,
her pain is my pain.
Let it be known that darkness
shall not prevail,
that this nation, under God,
shall be brought forward to fulfill
the new birth that awaits her.
Thus, is it ordained by the
Divine hand that holds all.
Thus, shall it be.
