★静かな幕開けから､“至上の愛”をほうふつとさせるﾊﾟｰﾄも織り込み､10分の間で振り切れるばかりのｴﾈﾙｷﾞｰをもって､切迫かつ切実な語りを表現するｵｰﾌﾟﾆﾝｸﾞ(1)を筆頭に､ｸﾜｲｱとﾎｰﾝ･ｾｸｼｮﾝがｺｰﾙ･ｱﾝﾄﾞ･ﾚｽﾎﾟﾝｽを繰り広げる(3)､ｱﾘｼｱ･ｵﾗﾄｩｰｼﾞｬのｿｳﾙﾌﾙなｳﾞｫｰｶﾙとｽﾋﾟﾘﾁｭｱﾙなﾃﾅｰ･ｿﾛが熱を帯びる(6)､ｿｳﾙ･ﾐｭｰｼﾞｯｸへの愛と､ｱﾘへの敬愛を表現した(9)とﾀﾞｲﾅﾐｯｸな楽曲が並ぶ｡
そして(11)からﾗｽﾄは､正に感動的なｸﾗｲﾏｯｸｽ！荘厳なﾎｰﾝｱﾝｻﾝﾌﾞﾙとｷﾝｸﾞ牧師の“I Have a Dream”の言葉が響きあう(11)､希望に満ちたｺﾞｽﾍﾟﾙ･ｳﾞｫｰｶﾙがﾌｨｰﾁｬｰされる(12)､そして､ﾊﾞﾗｸ･ｵﾊﾞﾏの大統領選挙勝利演説の荘重な詠みあげと共に､ｼﾝﾎﾞﾙ的ﾌﾚｰｽﾞ“Yes We Can”の掛け声をきっかけに､ｺｰﾗｽが高らかに歌い上げていくﾗｽﾄ｡そこには未来への示唆も託されている｡
