[Cheers and applause]

I'll be singing

"Knockin' On Heaven's Door"

By Bob Dylan.

Performing with me

is Jeremy Walt.

We'd like to dedicate this song

to my father

And all our fallen heroes.

[Jaunty rhythmic music]

[Energetic martial drumbeat]

# Mama,

take this badge off of me #

# I can't use it anymore

# It's gettin' dark

# It's getting too dark

for me to see #

# And I feel like

I'm knockin' on heaven's door #

# Oh, knock, knock,

knockin' on heaven's door #

# I'm knock, knock,

knockin' on heaven's door #

# Oh, knock, knock,

knockin' on heaven's door #

# I'm knock, knock,

knockin' on heaven's door #

# Tears drop,

knock on heaven's door #

# Angels carry heroes home

from this manmade war #

# Some ask what it's all for

# And we still ain't sure

# All I know

is that it's stone #

# Where this heart was pure

# A sense of purpose

is worthless #

# When you're six feet down

# Maybe we did it all

for country and crown #

# Or did we do it

# For the Dow Jones blues

going down? #

# I guess we'll have to let

the politicians figure it out #

# Come on, now

# Mama,

put my guns in the ground #

# I can't shoot them anymore

# That long black cloud

is comin' down #

# And I feel like

I'm knockin' on heaven's door #

# Knock, knock,

knockin' on heaven's door #

# I'm knock, knock,

knockin' on heaven's door #

# Oh, knock, knock,

knockin' on heaven's door #

# Yeah-yeah

# Knockin', knockin' on

# Knockin', knockin' on

heaven's door #

# Hey, yo, some cats came home

with half they hands #

# Traumatic things,

call him half a man #

# I feel your way sometimes

# It feels

that life's a scam #

# And can we see a light

in the end of the plan #

# Young blood, I know your dad

rests low in the calm #

# In the cradle

of the Lord's loving arms #

# Behind the night

# Hear the angels fall asleep

singing songs #

# We'll all be together

when the father calls #

# Hey, yeah!

# I'm knock, knock,

knockin' on heaven's door #

# I'm knockin', I'm knockin',

I'm knockin' #

# Knock, knock,

knockin' on heaven's door #

# Can you hear me?

# Knock, knock,

knockin' on heaven's door #

# I'm knockin'

# Knock, knock,

knockin' on heaven's door #

# I'm knockin'

# I'm knockin'

# Hey

[Choral humming

and rhythmic clapping]

[Cheers and applause]

I know.

I'm looking for the paddle.

Jimmy, you might want

to consider ducking.

You got it, partner.

Darlene, come on, give it up,

my dear.

Darlene's ten!

[Crowd roaring]

We won!

[Cheers and applause]

We have a winner!

Where are you guys going?

Oh, well, Jeremy's gonna give

us a ride to a motel tonight.

How would you guys

like to go to Los Angeles?

Los Angeles?

[Stammers]

He's dying to sign you two.

And make sure you make that

sucker pay big time, okay?

You bet.

L.A.

[All laugh]

# Do you dream

# That the world

will know your name? #

# So tell me your name

# And do you care

# About all the little things

# Or anything at all

# I want to feel

# All the chemicals inside

# I want to feel

# I want a sunburn

# Just to know that I'm alive

# To know I'm alive

# Don't tell me if I'm dying

# 'cause I don't want to know

# If I can't see the sun

# Maybe I should go

# Don't wake me

'cause I'm dreamin' #

# Of angels on the moon

# Where everyone you know

# Never leaves too soon

[Passionate music]

# This is to one last day

in the shadows #

# And to know a brother's love

# This is to

New York City angels #

# And the rivers of our blood

# This is to all of us

# To all of us

# Don't tell me if I'm dying

# 'cause I don't want to know

# If I can't see the sun

# Maybe I should go

# Don't wake me

'cause I'm dreaming #

# Of angels on the moon

# Where everyone you know

# Never leaves too soon

# Don't tell me if I'm dying
