With the way things are today, there's only one song that brings a tear to my eye:

 

God Bless The USA   By Lee Greenwood

 
If tomorrow all the things were gone I'd worked for all my life
And I had to start again with just my children and my wife
I'd thank my lucky stars to be livin' here today
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can't take that away 
 
And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me
And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
GOD bless the USA
 
From the lakes of Minnesota, to the hills of Tennessee
Across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea
From Detroit down to Houston and New York to LA
Well, there's pride in every American heart
And it's time we stand and say                                                                                                                         
That I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me
And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
GOD bless the USA 
 
And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me
And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
GOD Bless the USA
 
 
The land of the free because of the brave!!!!!!

I never understood how this song became so popular. That's the most depressing song that I ever heard, so much so, I'd turn the radio off when it played! It wasn't the only one from that era, though. Thank goodness for The Beatles!
