As by Stevie Wonder

:

This song, in my opinion a masterpiece, speaks to me on so many levels. On 9/11, I was in the south of France with 4 work colleagues and we couldn't reach family or friends in the US. We had no idea of what was happening in our adopted hometown of NYC. We spent the day watching BBC and finally we went to dinner. In the tiny restaurant, the owner approached us and in his broken English told us "we are all Americans today" and he played this song..and it reminded us of hope and the beauty of life.
