"As I look back over the past fifty years, I realize something beautiful. Every season of my life has pointed me toward this moment. Music has always been my language... but love has always been my message. My prayer for America's next 250 years is that we remember who we are at our very best... neighbors helping neighbors, strangers becoming friends, and ordinary people doing extraordinary things together. If each of us chooses to become a light in someone else's life, then together we become a torch that no darkness can overcome. That's why I still believe... People Helping People isn't just my motto. It may be America's greatest tradition."
