There is something truly magnificent and enduring about America. May her flaming light burn always upon the hill.

This opening warms my heart.

I am not an American, Chinese, Egyptian, Mexican, nor Israeli. I am human that lives on a land once reigned by the great beasts. This land that is your land and my land will stand still for many eons to come. This land belongs to not us but mother Earth itself.

I agree with Tom. I think this music is moving to those of us who had a dream, no matter how great or small, made its conquest our mission, walked the walk and talked the talk, struggled, and in the end our hard work and successes allowed us to experience a high that no drug could ever deliver to today's younger generation. Oh yes, our drug was success and it was habituating and addictive !This music embodies the tears of America's yesterday and all the hopes for the American tomorrow.

the original, on here, is the best...
America is far from perfect. It's made mistakes in the past, and it makes mistakes now. And too many of us live lives bogged down by superficiality and commercialism. But America remains a great nation, a beautiful land filled with good, strong people. Ours is a collective wisdom earned through hardship and the constant struggle for liberty and equality. Ours are the calloused hands of the builders, the artists, the liberators...the common man, living free and living full and living hard.

I like this intro a lot more than the new one. The new opening song, "Time Has Come Today," is just such a generic-sounding song that really feels isolated to the '60s.
