Video from week 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMqvpmBr7Jw
"It rolls down like water, majestic heights in a promised land that he's seen.
This is his dream.
He isn't afraid now, getting death threats by mail and a bomb on his porch.
He carries the torch.
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!
Consider the question, have you the strength and the will that will do what is right?
This was his life.
Top of the mountain, when do you quit and you stop and you say that you tried?
He'd rather die.
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!
We live in his shadow, never forget where we came from, the work and the sweat that has dried.
He was the guide.
Remember the day now, live out his dream and honor the debt that he paid,
Born on this day.
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 promise land!"
