Beck: We watched as the bombs
shattered the second comet
:49:25
into a million of pieces
of ice and rock
:49:27
that burned harmlessly
in our atmosphere
:49:30
and lit up the sky
for an hour.
:49:33
Still, we were left with
the devastation of the first.
:49:37
The waters
reached as far inland
:49:39
as the Ohio
and Tennessee Valleys.
:49:41
It washed away
farms and towns...
:49:45
forests and skyscrapers.
:49:49
But the water receded.
:49:54
The wave hit Europe
and Africa, too.
:49:57
Millions were lost.
:50:00
Countless more
left homeless.
:50:04
But the waters receded.
:50:10
Cities fall...
:50:13
but they are rebuilt.
:50:16
And heroes die...
:50:19
but they are remembered.
:50:22
We honour them
with every brick we lay...
:50:25
with every field we sow...
:50:28
with every child we comfort
and then teach to rejoice
:50:32
in what
we have been regiven.
:50:36
Our planet.
:50:40
Our home.
:50:44
So now...
:50:46
let us begin.
