But most of all it needs us. It needs you and it needs me, and he's gonna need us. 'Cause all that a nation has that keeps it from coming apart is the social contract between us, between its citizens. And whatever grace God has decided to impart to us, it resides in us, it resides in our connection with one another. In honoring the life and the hopes and the dreams of the man or the woman up the street or across town--that's where we make our small claim upon heaven.

If Bruce ever decides to quit the rockstar biz, I suspect Obama can give him a permanent speechwriter position. ;) He does have a preachin' streak a mile wide, doesn't he? (In a good way.)
