It doesn't matter how many years this song has been out there every time I hear it it brings tears to my eyes
You can hear in his voice how difficult this was to perform. Usually such a strong and steady tone, but you can hear him quiver trying to get through. So raw and emotional.
If this song doesn't hit you right in the feels even after 20 years, I don't know what will...
This was the first time that he sang the song. He gave the performance of a lifetime and helped heal a nation while nailing it on the first take. God bless
