Sången "I have this dream" i bakgrunden av talet

Orginal

Sadly. Sadly we live in a state of fear. Everyday we hear of war. On the news, on the radio and telivision. In the newspapers, always of war. We hear of nations hurting each other, of neighbours hurting each other, of families hurting each other and of children killing each other. We must learn to live and love each other before it's too late. We have to stop!

We have to stop the prejudice. We have to stop the hating. We have to stop living in fear of our own neighbours. I would like all of you now to take the hand of the person to the left and to the right of you. Go ahead right now, I mean it, don't be shy. Do it, 'cuz it starts now. To the person next to you to the left and the right, I mean it, right now. Go ahead, don't be shy. Do it! Do it!

Now tell the person, tell the person next to you that you care for them. Tell them that you care for them! Tell them that you love them! Tell them that you love them! This is what makes the difference. Together we can make a change in the world. Together we can help to stop racism. Together we can help to stop prejudice. We can help the world to live without fear. It is our only hope, and without hope we are lost. Thank you all, I am very proud and happy to be here. I love you.

That's beautiful. That's a sign of hope right there. That's for all the children of the world. I love you and thank you for everything. All my love and God bless.
