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
