Standing Ovation

During these times of national concerns it is refreshing to hear someone call out to our great country and let us know they support us. While listening to this song or reading the lyrcis if you are a patriot your heart will be moved. So may those tears. The is overwhelming for me. I pray to God it affects all readers in the same beautiful, emotional way. It has touched my very soul. Yes, when the woman in the audience with the ring on her thumb was wiping away the tears, she had a companion (sometimes I feel like a big ole girlyman, lol). This is awesome in HQ and full screen, even on a 32" monitor. The sound quality is spectacular. Hey, it just doesn't get much better than this:









O, America you’re calling,
I can hear you calling me:
You are calling me to be true to thee,
True to thee… I will be.

O, America no weeping,
Let me heal your wounded heart:
I will keep you in my keeping,
Till there be… a new start.

And I will answer you, and I will take your hand,
And lead you… to the sun:
And I will stand by you…do all that I can do,
And we will be… as one.

O, America I hear you,
From your prairies to the sea,
From your mountains grand, and all through this land,
You are beautiful to me.

And… O, America you’re calling,
I can hear you calling me:
You are calling me to be true to thee,
True to thee… I will be.

And I will answer you, and I will take your hand,
And lead you… to the sun:
And I will stand by you… do all that I can do,
And we will be…as one.

O, America you’re calling…
I will ever answer thee
