I'm a guy and this song almost always has the effect of making me cry. Coming out as it did in 1969, the tail end of an era of tumultuous change and uncertainty, this song is a gentle reassuring anthem for those times. "We'll get through this together and all will work out well in end." Alas, it can also serve as an anthem for these current times. The world seems to be so messed up and spinning out of control -- but there will be better days. Just take my hand and we'll see it through. The song has a timeless quality.
