Now, I couldn't agree more with the narrator [G] of that opening video, Prince EA,
and [Bm] especially the story that he told about the Belgian horses.
We can [A] accomplish so much more working together than apart.
[G] Your show was much more telling [E] than [G] any speech,
because I think you expressed this, [Bm] I mean, _ precisely this emergency,
this [A] deep feeling we have, _ _ _ with [G] a lot of strength.
Because what we need, what is waited from us, is action.
[B] Small and big action.
[Cm] _ _ They say we live in a [Gb] world of fake news.
[Em] _ I [Cm] disagree.
_ [Ab] We actually live in a world of _ fake_ _hoax.
_ Think about it, we see the same old story over and [Gb] over in the media.
You know the stories, they tell us the world is becoming worse off every day.
They say that new [Ebm] conflicts are arising in [Gb] each and every way,
but [Db] if we were to step back and examine the facts,
we would come to one conclusion, _
that our world in which we live in, is actually _ improving.
_ [F] Despite all the very real problems that confront us [F] today,
I still see grounds [Am] for optimism.
Everyone _ [Eb] benefits from digital services.
And prosperity [G] is nothing less [Bb] than the seedbed [C] for peace.
[F] _ Thanks to trade and globalization, we have made huge progress in areas like poverty, infant mortality, hunger, crime, [Fm] education, and disease [G] reduction.
And see the smiles [Bb] of millions of [Bb] people around the globe are the proof.
Now that's not [F] to say we don't have a long way to go,
but can we please tell the truth?
_ It is said that in a time of universal [Fm] deceit, telling the truth is a [G] revolutionary act.
Well [Bb] ladies and gentlemen, I [Bb] am standing here in front of you to do just that.
[Dm] And I do not mean to offend anyone in the room,
but the strongest nation in [Eb] the world is not the USA.
It's not [Gm] Russia, it's not found anywhere in Asia.
The strongest nation has [C] always been and will always be_
_ _ _ [Dm] Imagine_ A nation.
See, [Am] if we can imagine a better world together,
[Eb] based not on our differences, but on the things that connect us and make [Dm] us whole,
_ then we can create a future [F] that is much greater than any vision [Bb] we could ever have alone. _
I emphasize [C] the word together [F] because as the African proverb states,
if you want to [C] go fast, go alone.
[Gm] But if you [Bb] want to go far, you go [D] together. _ _
You know, I learned something about the [Dm] Belgian horse the other day.
Did you know that one Belgian horse can [D] pull 8,000 pounds by himself?
[Dm] But get this, two of [D] them can pull 18,000 pounds.
And if you send them to training, I mean, [G] really focus them on this singular endeavor,
[D] _ then they can pull 25,000 pounds.
[Bb] _ _
Together, [C] together we can pull so much more.
[Dm] You know, as a student of history, [A] I studied the decisive [Bb] moments of mankind,
the pivot [C] points.
There have been many pivotal points [D] throughout history,
where we found ourselves at a [Dm] crossroads, given the choice of [Bb] going one way or another.
[C] _ Ladies and gentlemen, this [Dm] world is at a pivot point.
And we as [Am] individuals can [Bb] continue business as usual,
or together [C] we can develop a rather unusual business.
[F] A business based on courage, character, and clarity.
A business whose goals are [Am] free trade, peace, and prosperity.
A business that does [Eb] not focus on isolationism, but answers the global call.
[Bb] A business _
[Bb] that builds [F] bridges _ _ [F] instead of walls.
_ _ See, the truth is, there is no first or [Am] third world.
There's one world.
In the uni [Fm]-verse, uni meaning [Bb] one verse, meaning song.
We all have a part to play in this [F] song.
Some of us were picked to play first chair.
[Dm] Those who can lift the world up in ways that no one else can.
That's [Eb] you.
See, [Eb] we have many instruments in this ensemble.
From violins, to cellos, [Ab] to flutes, [Gb] to french horns. _
_ And when they solo, [Fm] they all sound very clever.
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
But ladies and gentlemen, an orchestra only happens when the instruments [F] _ play together.
