These are the lyrics to the song Vince Hatfield performed live in Midland, Texas, for George W. when he made his last stop on his way to DC for the Inauguration. [Billie] mentioned this song in [her] report of George W's visit, which [she] was privileged to attend.

Vince Hatfield's "Song fer Dubyuh (not sure of the title)"

It sure will be nice in the years to come to turn on the TV each day,
And see someone who we all respect in each and every way.
Someone who believes in GOD, and isn't ashamed to say.
The kind of man that makes you proud, you were born in the USA.
Our kids go to school, like when we were kids, and have the right to pray.
When we go to work we'll know deep in our hearts that they are gonna be OK
And were gonna have the chance, to keep a little more from our hard work everyday.
The kind of man that makes us proud, we were born in the USA.

George Bush, Lead On, let's help him or get out of his way,
George Bush, Lead On and make a new start today,
And make the world proud of us once again, of this good ole USA.
So we can stand up tall and tell our kids this is gonna be yours someday.

America the beautiful, He'll keep it the land of the free.
Where liberty, equality, and peace reach from sea to shining sea.
Where the family is number 1, and we respect the red, white, and blue.
He'll bring the country together and make it better for me and you.

George Bush, Lead On, let's help him or get out of his way,
George Bush, Lead On and make a new start today,
And make the world proud of us once again, of this good ole USA.
So we can stand up tall and tell our kids this is gonna be yours someday.

George Bush, Lead On, let's help him or get out of his way,
George Bush, Lead On and make a new start today,
And make the world proud of us once again, of this good ole USA.
So we can stand up tall and tell our kids this is gonna be yours someday.
So we can stand up tall and tell our kids we're proud of the USA,
"George Bush for Our USA"

BUSH: "I will not wait on events, while dangers gather."

President's Remarks
view

This country has many challenges. We will not deny, we will not ignore, we will not pass along our problems to other Congresses, to other presidents, and other generations. (Applause.) We will confront them with focus and clarity and courage...
Sending Americans into battle is the most profound decision a President can make. The technologies of war have changed; the risks and suffering of war have not. For the brave Americans who bear the risk, no victory is free from sorrow. This nation fights reluctantly, because we know the cost and we dread the days of mourning that always come.

We seek peace. We strive for peace. And sometimes peace must be defended. A future lived at the mercy of terrible threats is no peace at all. If war is forced upon us, we will fight in a just cause and by just means -- sparing, in every way we can, the innocent. And if war is forced upon us, we will fight with the full force and might of the United States military -- and we will prevail. (Applause.)
