in every pursuit or avocation,
to secure an adviser in a sensible woman.

for a woman friend always desires to be proud of you.

I would like to live a long life.

And I've seen the promised land.
I may not get there with you.
But I want you to know tonight, that we,
as a people, will get to the promised land.
