Three days from now
After a half century of service of our country
I shall lay down the responsibilities of office
As in traditional and solemn ceremony
The authority of the Presidency is vested in my successor
This evening I come to you with a message of leave-taking and farewell
And to share a few final thoughts with you, my countrymen
Like every other citizen, I wish the new President
And all who will labor with him, Godspeed
They can’t lift me up to places high above
They can’t give in my heart
You lift me up to places
Give in my heart
You lift me up to places high above me
You lift me up to places
Give in my heart
You lift me up to places high above me
You lift me
You lift me
You lift me
You lift me
They can’t lift me up to places high above
They can’t give in my heart
You lift me up to places
Give in my heart
You lift me up to places high above me
You lift me
You lift me
You lift me
You lift me
