I had to listen to this song several times before I could get through it without crying.
This song is probably the most powerful example of how the world isn't fair I've ever heard. Tales of disasters, low standards of living, horrific massacres, and the like are simply too far removed from my everyday life for me to process, but this song hits the mark perfectly. This isn't a tale of injustice in some far-off land, it's the story of one man who gave his all for a simple request and failed to obtain what he'd worked so hard for. If such simple dreams can die, what hope can there be?
