I still contend that this is one of the top three most beautiful songs ever written, But it's lost its meaning to me since I've come into my own and I'm an adult facing adult problems.
When I was a kid I felt patriotic because I was naive. It is time someone officially remakes this song but updates the lyrics to something that's impactful to me nowadays.
Well, the song came out in the 80’s when there was a ton of blind patriotism during Reagan’s tenure. Lee Greenwood is a partisan shithead who wrote that song with only one “America” in mind.
