" the best is yet to come."
I love that line, it is so full of true (not blind) "Forward"- optimism, and it reminds me of a song I like so much, it is by Bob Dylan, "If Dogs Run Free", where I find this line, too:
" the best is always yet to come."
And because I think this song is just as beautiful as the inspiring Obama speeches, here are the lyrics:
If dogs run free, then why not we
Across the swooping plain?
My ears hear a symphony
Of two mules, trains and rain
The best is always yet to come
That’s what they explain to me
Just do your thing, you’ll be king
If dogs run free
If dogs run free, why not me
Across the swamp of time?
My mind weaves a symphony
And tapestry of rhyme
Oh, winds which rush my tale to thee
So it may flow and be
To each his own, it’s all unknown
If dogs run free
If dogs run free, then what must be
Must be, and that is all
True love can make a blade of grass
Stand up straight and tall
In harmony with the cosmic sea
True love needs no company
It can cure the soul, it can make it whole
If dogs run free
