The highway is alive tonight But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light With the ghost of old Tom Joad.
For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive
Is there anybody alive out there?
For the ones who had a notion, A notion deep inside, That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive I wanna find one face that ain't looking through me I wanna find one place, I wanna spit in the face of these badlands
It ain't no sin to be glad you're alive.

We remain a land of great promise, but we must move on, ... humility in exercising our power around the world.
