Lyrics

I believe in an America where the separation of church

And state is absolute. Where no Catholic prelate would

Tell the President, should he be Catholic, how to act

I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is

Absolute. Where no Catholic prelate would tell the President, should

He be Catholic, how to act. And no Protestant minister would tell

His parishioners for whom to vote. Where no church or church school

Is granted any public funds or political preference. And where no

Man is denied public office merely because his religion differs from

The President who might appoint him

Or the people who might elect him

I pledge you that we shall neither commit nor provoke aggression

That we shall neither flee nor invoke the threat of war. That we

Shall never negotiate out of fear and we shall never fear to

Negotiate. Terror is not a new weapon. Throughout history it has

Been used by those who could not prevail either by persuasion or

Example. But inevitably they fail, either because men are not afraid

To die for a life worth living, or because the terrorists themselves

Came to realize that free men cannot be frightened by threats

And that aggression would meet its own response. And it is in the

Light of that history that every nation today should know, be he

Friend or foe, that the United States has both the will and the

Weapons to join free men in standing up to their responsibilities

The path we have chosen for the present is full of hazards, as all

Paths are. But it is the one most consistent with our

Character and courage as a nation and our commitments

Around the world. The cost of freedom is always high, but

Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never

Choose, and that is the path of surrender or submission

We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this

Decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but

Because they are hard. Because that goal will serve to organize

And measure the best of our energies and skills. Because that

Challenge is one that we're willing to accept, one we are

Unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others too

I have therefore chosen this time and place to discuss a topic on

Which ignorance too often abounds and the truth too rarely perceived

And that is the most important topic on earth: peace. What kind of a

Peace do I mean and what kind of a peace do we seek? Not a

Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war

Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am

Talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life

On earth worth living, the kind that enables men and nations

To grow and to hope and build a better life for their children

Not merely peace for Americans, but peace for all men and

Women. Not merely peace in our time, but peace in all time

We are confronted primarily with a moral peace. It is as old as the

Scriptures and as clear as the American Constitution. The heart of

The question is whether all Americans are to be afforded equal

Rights and equal opportunity. Whether we are going to treat our

Fellow Americans as we want to be treated. If an American, because

His skin is dark, cannot eat lunch in a restaurant open to the

Public, if he cannot send his children to the best public school

Available, if he cannot vote for the public officials who represent

Him, if in short he cannot enjoy the full and free life which all

Of us want, then who among us would be content to have the color of

His skin changed and stand in his place? Who among us would then be

Content with the counsels of patience and delay? One hundred years

Of delay have passed since President Lincoln freed the slaves, yet

Their heirs and their grandsons are not fully free. They are not yet

Free from the bonds of injustice. They are not yet free from social

And economic oppression. And this nation, for all its hopes and all

Its hopes, will not be fully free until all its citizens are free

I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace

That makes life on earth worth living. Not merely

Peace for Americans, but peace for all men and women
