Sure I am that this day Now we are the masters of our fate That the task which has been set us is not above our strength That its pangs and toils are not beyond our endurance As long as we have faith in our cause And an unconquerable will-power Salvation will not be denied us
Twice in a single generation The catastrophe of world war has fallen upon us Twice in our lifetime Has the long arm of fate reached out acro the oceans To bring the United States into the forefront of the battle If we had kept together after the last war If we had taken common measures for our safety This renewal of the curse need never have fallen upon us
Do we not owe it to ourselves To our children To tormented mankind To make sure that these catastrophes do not engulf us for the third time?
