Ooh, ooh
Mmmm
[Christopher Jackson]
Like the scripture says:
“Everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree
And no one shall make them afraid.” (Afraid)
They'll be safe in the nation we've made (In the nation we've made)
Mmmm I want to sit under my own vine and fig tree
A moment alone in the shade (In the shade)
At home in this nation we've made
One last time (One last time)
One last time (One last time)
For the nation we've loved and we've made
Say oh, oh, oh, (Ohhh)
We're gonna teach them how to say goodbye (Yeah)
Teach them (Teach them) how (One last time)
Oooh, one last time
[Barack Obama, Christopher Jackson, both]
Though, in reviewing the incidents of my administration
I am unconscious of intentional error
I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects
Not to think it probable that I may have committed many errors
I shall also carry with me the hope
That my country will view them with indulgence
And that after forty-five years of my life
Dedicated to its service with an upright zeal
The faults of incompetent abilities
Will be consigned to oblivion
As I myself must soon be
To the mansions of rest
I anticipate with pleasing expectation that retreat
In which I promise myself to realizeThe sweet enjoyment of partaking
In the midst of my fellow-citizens
The benign influence of good laws
Under a free government
The ever-favorite object of my heart
And the happy reward
As I trust
Of our mutual cares, labors, and dangers
[Christopher Jackson]
One last time
(George Washington's going home)
Teach them how to say goodbye
(George Washington's going home)
You and I
(He's going home)
Going home, yeah
(He's going home)
I said, George, (Washington) he's going (Going home)
History has its eyes on you (He's going)
Yes it does
Hey, we're gonna teach them how to say goodbye
(Teach them how to say goodbye)
Yes we will (Teach them how)
I said, ohhh
One (One last time)
We're gonna teach them, teach them
(Teach them how to say goodbye)
How to say goodbye (Teach them how)
Teach them to lead, ohhh
Teach them how to say goodbye (Teach them)
Teach them how (Teach them how)
To say goodbye (Say goodbye)
One last time (One last time)
You and I
One last time
Mmmm
