Mr. Premier, distinguished guests
I have attended many feasts
But never have I so enjoyed a dinner
Never have I so enjoyed a dinner
Nor have I heard played better
The music that I love outside America
I move a vote of thanks to one and all
Whose efforts made this possible
No one who heard could but admire
Your eloquent remarks, Premier
And millions more
Hear what we say through satellite technology
That never heard a public speech before
No one is out of touch
No one, no one
No one is out of touch
ย
Telecommunication has broadcast your message into space
Yet soon our words won't be recalled
While what we do can change the world
ย
We have at times been enemies
We still have differences, God knows
But let us, in these next five days
Start a long march on new highways
In different speeds, but parallel
And heading towards a single goal
ย
The world watches and listens
We must seize the hour
We must seize the hour
We must seize the hour
We must seize the hour
