I've always liked this song very much but it really got the attention of the world when David Archuleta sang the song on America Idol.
As David was a strong contender, Simon thought it was a rather odd and unusual choice for him to sing and asked whether this song was chosen for him by someone else. Well, I guess David just liked the song as much as I do.
More so, as my country is in its current unenviable situation, the lyrics are oh so relevant. Please listen to the words as they are so meaningful. Especially now.
Listen to the lyrics.
