[ADAMS]
"Is anybody there?"
"Does anybody care?"
Does anybody see what I see?

They want me to quit
They say, "John, give up the fight!"
Still, to England, I say:
"Good night, forever good night!"

For I have crossed the Rubicon
Let the bridge be burned behind me!
Come what may, come what may
Commitment!

The croakers all say
We'll rue the day
There'll be hell to pay
In fiery purgatory

Through all the gloom
Through all the gloom
I can see the rays of ravishing light
And glory

Is anybody there?
Does anybody care?
Does anybody see what I see?
I see fireworks
I see the pageant and pomp and parade
I hear the bells ringing out
I hear the cannons roar
I see Americans
All Americans
Free forevermore!

How quiet
How quiet the chamber is

How silent
How silent the chamber is

Is anybody there?
Does anybody care?

(spoken)
Does anybody see what I see?
