"There is a still, small voice and it walks with me. It talks with me. It tells me - I'm his own. Yay though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil for Thou art with me. The Lord is my life. March on. March on. Never let them break your spirit. You see there is a power beyond that we've got. And Vrdolyak can't stop it. And Herod can't stop it. And Nebucanezar can't stop it. And Reagan can't stop it. Don't you know that we got Martin King s birthday while Reagan was President. Don't you know that we ran Duvalier out of Haiti while Reagan was President. Don't you know we ran Marcos out of the Philippines while Reagan was President. Don't you know we're gonna run Botha out of South Africa and Reagan out of Washington. It won't be long."
