Don't be trapped by dogma -

to follow your heart and intuition.

Everything else is secondary.

Well, I don't know what will happen now.
We've got some difficult days ahead.
But it doesn't matter with me now.

Longevity has its place.
But I'm not concerned about that now.
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.
