Oh No, Oh No... Don't Lift Me,

Some Men See What Is, And Ask 'why?' I See What Might Be, And Ask 'why Not?'

Our Future May Lie Beyond Our Vision, But It Is Not Completely Beyond Our Control. It Is The Shaping Impulse Of America That Neither Fate Nor Nature Nor The Irresistible Tides Of History, But The Work Of Our Own Hands, Matched To Reason And Principle.

And As Long As America Must Choose, That Long Will There Be A Need And A Place For The Democratic Party. We Democrats Can Run On Our Record But We Cannot Rest On It. We Will Win If We Continue To Take The Initiative And If We Carry The Message Of Hope And Action Throughout The Country. Alexander Smith Once Said, 'a Man Doesn't Plant A Tree For Himself. He Plants It For Posterity.' Let Us Continue To Plant, And Our Children Shall Reap The Harvest. That Is Our Destiny As Democrats.

Oh No, Oh No... Don't Lift Me, Don't Lift Me.

I Believe That In This Generation Those With The Courage To Enter The Conflict Will Find Themselves With Companions In Every Corner Of The World.
