We're too close to the one colony that can get the job done.
Virginia, the land that gave us our glorious commander-in-chief,

will now give the continent its proposal on independence.
And when Virginia proposes, the South is bound to follow.
And where the South goes, the middle colonies go.
Gentlemen, a salute to Virginia,
a mother of American [Am] independence!
