On this day we as a people, as a nation, need to come together, rid ourselves of the lawlessness that has become pervasive throughout our nation by perpetrators of hate, crime and evil hiding behind the facade of a racial event to roust the people...
I chose this next song by Celtic Woman as they sing not for one Country but all Countries, all peoples, and this next song performance in my Music Interlude is titled "O, America!"

A fan writes: " 'O, America!' was written by Brendan Graham and William Joseph exclusively for Celtic Woman." IMHO, I think it was written out of love and respect for the country. I've always considered Ireland to be sort of a "sister" country to the States. (no wonder I've been there 5 times already)"
and another, pens: "I'm from britain but I still love everything about America. Strangely I have a massive respect for the guys and girls that fight and give their lives daily for the freedom of others."
and a third writes: I'm not an American, but love most about America. If only this song performed in front of US servicemen, I could imagine their reaction. God bless America. And Celtic Woman just become my favourite."
LYRICS:
"O America!"
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 you're 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

Separation never works in any country, Here We need to all think as Americans and accept people as individuals and base their acceptance on their own character and integrity. An open hand reaching to shake is always more valuable than a closed fist and if the fist has be resorted to, make sure You are correct and its defense and not offense.
