Earlier this year when I was recording
American Prayer, a song I originally co-wrote
with Bono, the phrase, "When you get to the
top of the mountain, remember me" seemed to
take on a whole new resonance, given the
inspirational candidacy of Barack Obama. The
song always contained one of my favorite
passages from Dr. King, which was hauntingly
delivered the night before he was
assassinated. King says: "I just want to do
God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to
the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've
seen the Promised Land. I may not get there
with you. But I want you to know tonight,
that we, as a people, will get to the
Promised Land!" People long for a
connection— whether it is to music, to
their country, or to a big idea. Regardless
of what happens in November, Senator Obama
has reminded millions of people that they
have the power to connect to bigger ideas.
He is, in essence, the embodiment of a new
anthem for change. He has continued King's
narrative from what was once thought of as a
dream to a reality. I find it especially
relevant that Barack Obama will accept the
Democratic Party Nomination for President 45
years to the day of King's "I Have a Dream"
speech.
When we were originally writing the song,
Bono was crafting the words in a way that
would make people think about the fact that
'America' as a concept was a truly great
idea, based on the bedrock of equality. I
find it more pertinent than ever to release
it now; to the moment America finds itself
in, daring to re-imagine itself and its place
in the world.
When I set out to make a video for the new
version of this song, I wanted to honor all
of those millions of people, especially young
people, who are, for the first time, feeling
empowered to voice their beliefs. I wanted to
capture how Obama's message of change has
echoed across the broad fabric of what is
America. To do that, we've cast the film
with an eclectic array of personalities,
including Forest Whitaker, Jason Alexander,
Whoopi Goldberg, Cyndi Lauper, Barry Manilow,
Joan Baez, Macy Gray and Joss Stone. They
appear alongside veterans, teachers and
everyday citizens— all of whom have been
touched by this simple idea of change. As
an Englishman, I'm not an expert in all the
intricate details of American politics. But
as an artist, I understand how rare it is to
inspire a connection to a bigger idea or
purpose. This video isn't so much an
endorsement of Barack Obama as much as it is
a celebration of all those who have picked up
a sign, who have registered to vote and are
working to make the world a better place. So
as Senator Barack Obama ascends to the
mountain top, let us not forget all of the
others who for the past 40 years have sung
anthems of change to make this moment
possible.
LYRICS
This is my American Prayer
This is my American Prayer
This is the time to finish what you started
And this is no time to dream
This is the room
We can turn off the dark tonight
Maybe then we might see
American Prayer
American Prayer
And this is the ground
That keeps our feet from getting wet
And this is the sky over our head
And what you see depends on where you stand
And how you jump will tell you where you're
gonna land
American Prayer
American Prayer
My oh my
Couldn't get much higher
Lets not kick out the darkness
Make the light brighter
And these are the hands
What are we gonna build with them?
This is the church you can't see
Give me your tired, your poor and huddled
masses
You know they're yearning to breathe free
This is my American Prayer
American Prayer
American Prayer
When you get to the top of the mountain
Will you tell me what you see
If you get to the top of the mountain
Remember me
