| Text Translation | America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves—if our children should live to see the next century, what progress will we have made? This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time, to reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope. And where we are met with doubt, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can. (Text taken from Barack Obama’s Victory Speech in 2008) |
