5. Our challenges may be new.
The instruments with which we meet them may
be new.
But those values upon which our success
depends —
hard work and honesty, courage and fair play,
tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism —
these things are old.

6. These things are true.
They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our
history.
What is demanded then is a return to these truths.
what is required of us now is a new era of responsibility
— a recognition, on the part of every American,
that we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world,
uties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly,
firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the
spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a
difficult task.

7. This is the price and
the promise of
citizenship.

8. ‘Cross the Green Mountain
Bob Dylan - 2002

9. Korte toelichting
Leviathan
Caps
Music that comes from a fat better land
Gunshot
… that we ever dared to tell

10. I cross the Green Mountain. I sit by the stream
Heaven blazing in my head, I, I dreamt a monstrous dream
Something came up out of the sea
Swept through the land of the rich and the free

11. I look into the eyes of my merciful friend
And then I ask myself: Is this the end?
Memories linger, sad yet sweet
And I think of the souls in heaven who will be

12. Alters are burning, the flames far and wide
The fool has crossed over from the other side
They tip their caps from the top of the hill
You can feel them come, all brave blood do spill

13. Along the dim Atlantic line
The rapper's land lasts for miles behind
The lights coming foreward
and the streets are broad
All must yield to the avenging God

14. The world is old, the world is great
Lessons of life, can't be learned in a day
I watch and I wait and I listen while I stand
To the music that comes from a far better land

15. Close the eyes of our Captain, peace may he know
His long night is done, the great leader is laid low
He was ready to fall, he was quick to defend
Killed outright he was by his own men

16. It's the last day's last hour of the last happy year
I feel that the unknown, the world is so dear
Pride will vanish and glory will rot
But virtue lives and cannot be forgot

17. The bells of evening have rung
There's blasphemy on the end of the tongue
Let them say that I walked in fair nature's light
And that I was loyal to truth and to right

18. Serve God and meet your full. Look upward beyond
Beyond the darkness that masks the surprises of dawn
In the deep green grasses and the blood stained woods
They never dreamed of surrendering,
they fell where they stood

19. Stars fell over Alabama and I saw each star
You're walking in dreams, whoever you are
Chilled are the skies, keen is the frost
And the ground's froze hard
and the morning is lost

20. A letter to mother came today
Gunshot wound to the breast is what it did say
But he'll be better soon, he's in a hospital bed
But he'll never be better, he's already dead

21. I'm ten miles outside the city and I'm lifted away
In an ancient light, that is not of day
They were calm they were gloomed.
We knew them all too well
We loved each other more than we ever dared to tell

22. ‘Cross the green mountain
Song die Bob Dylan schreef voor de tv-film Gods and
generals (2002)
Over de Amerikaanse Burgeroorlog (1861-1865).
Hij focust in op confederate-general Thomas Jonathan
“Stonewall” Jackson
