Because I've been to the mountaintop.
And I don't mind. Like any man,
I would like to live a long life.
Longevity has its place.

And I've seen the promised land.
I may not get there with you.

as a people, will get to the promised land.

any role in any of the events of my life
is entirely without fault.
