carl christensen - john fitzgerald kennedy كلمات الأغنية

verse 1:
don’t you remember how they adored him?
and though his victory was thin
there was good will when he was sworn in
just a young massachusetts senator
who with caution but not fear
pointed to a new frontier and said
this will be a difficult path my country men
this will be a difficult path indeed
but we must make a choice
are leaders into this void?
or do we settle for the pasts safe mediocrity?

verse 2:
don’t you remember that october?
when mid ranged missiles arrived to cuba on soviеt vessels
for 13 days the еnd seemed imminent
and every decision made was in a diplomatic chess game
let us not forget that if there’d been a single mistake
then a mushroom cloud would have rose on black sat_rday
but vasili arkhipov kept a cool head and denied the launch
may history never forget that mans name

jfk speech sample:
if we fail to move ahead
if we fail to develop sufficient economic
and social strength here in this country
then i think the tide could begin to run against us
and i don’t want historians ten years from now to say
“these were the years when the tide ran out for the united states.”
i want them to say, “these were the years when the tide came in
these were the years when the united states started to move again.”
only you can decide what you want this country to be
what you want to do with the future
i think we’re ready to move
verse 3:
don’t you remember his wife jacqueline?
she stood by his side while droves of mistresses went by
the list was long and its members noteworthy
spanning stars off the silver screen to jackie’s own press secretary
by 1963 jackie had lost 3 children
so she was not a stranger to sorrow
but the pain that she endured
she could have never prepared for
she held him while she became americas first widow

verse 4:
don’t you forget the future that he planned for
he said “change is gonna come we otta embrace it when it does”
large change moves slow and could out live all of us
but we must take the first steps and
let our children finish the rest
this path holds sacrifice not security
but we will meet it with it courage not complacently
what he was asking for
was small sacrifices from each american
2 years later he got a bullet in the head
can you even imagine a more american death?

jfk speech sample:
we stand today
on the edge of a new frontier
but the new frontier
of which i speak
is not a set a set of promises
it is a set of challenges
it sums up
not what i intend to offer to the american people
but what i intend to ask of them
it would be easier
to shrink from that new frontier
to look to the safe mediocrity of the past
to be lulled by good intentions
and high rhetoric
and those who prefer that course should not vote for me
i am asking each of you
to be pioneers to that new frontier
my call is to the young at heart
regardless of age
for courage not complacently is our need today
leadership not salesmanship
and the only valid test
of leadership is the ability to lead
and lead vigorously
