    Here is the thing, though, the real, true thing I still have trouble admitting: I can't protect you from everything...I can't protect you from spending a lifetime caught between the beautiful dream of a diverse nation and the complicated reality of one. I can't even protect you from the simple fact that sometimes, the people who love us will choose a world that doesn't.

    The Voice of TomorrowAmerica, America, will you listen to the story of you?You bruised mountains, purpled by majesty.You shining seas that refuse to see.You, haunted by ghosts of dreams,From the many, one; the one, many.I am in you and of you, America.You of amber waving grain, shiningLike fool's gold in a plentiful river.I am the dream coming, yes,The Voice of TomorrowRinging in freedom's ear.Do you hear it now?Calling, calling, all:Listen, America - I am the story.I am you.I am.

But at least there had been hearty greetings, man to man; there had been clamorous jazz for dancing, and the lively, slangy catcalls of young people, and the nervous blatting of tremendous traffic.
