One of the musicians in our group has been singing that song, michaelr, the last couple of months. Pretty powerful stuff; there's always a moment of silence after she finishes, and it tends to bring on a spate of anti-war songs. Sometimes we have to proclaim a switch to happy songs, just to shake the mood.

That last verse of the song is an inspired one. Without it, the song would miss the mark. With it, it is universal.
