Thank you for sharing the words with us all. It is my favorite "America" song. I've been crying all day. Hearing this song, I feel like I am crying with many.
The most beautiful rendition I've ever heard was the one sung at the Pentagon for those killed there on 9/11.
I understand. I was at work and listening to the radio when they were transferring his casket and playing "My Country, 'Tis of Thee," and I lost it then and there and all the tears that were fighting to come out did.
So I share your sorrowful tears.
