Answer 2

Mamma,

The song you're looking for was titled, "From A Distance." And it was written in 1985 by Julie Gold. It was first recorded by Nanci Griffith, and later, around the time of the first Gulf War, by Bette Midler. Here are the lyrics...

Answer 3

God Bless the USA, written and performed by country artist Lee Greenwood

The Lyrics...

If tomorrow all the things were gone I’d worked for all my life,
And I had to start again with just my children and my wife.
I’d thank my lucky stars to be living here today,
‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can’t take that away.

And I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free.
And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.
And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land God bless the U.S.A.

From the lakes of Minnesota, to the hills of Tennessee,
across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea,

From Detroit down to Houston and New York to LA,
Well, there’s pride in every American heart,
and it’s time to stand and say:

I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free.
And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.
And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land God bless the U.S.A.

Here is the story behind it..

When
the ground combat phase of the Persian Gulf War brought about Iraq's surrender in a startingly short one hundred hours in February 1991, one could hardly watch television or listen to the radio without hearing the stirringly patriotic song God Bless the USA, written and performed by country artist Lee Greenwood, at least once a day. (Greenwood was the Country Music Association's award for Male Vocalist of the Year in 1983 and 1984, and his God Bless the USA had been awarded the CMA's Song of the Year honors in 1985.) As a result, the song become even more firmly entrenched as staple background music for Persian Gulf War retrospectives, Independence Day celebrations, and Memorial Day and Veterans Day remembrance ceremonies, and it has undergone another resurgence in popularity since the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001:

The song has taken Greenwood to the flight decks of aircraft carriers and the cockpits of fighter planes and earned him a special award from the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. He has met five presidents, cashed in on big-dollar corporate appearances and performed at every imaginable type of sporting event. And after the Sept. 11 attacks, he climbed atop the rubble at the World Trade Center to sing the song for rescue workers. In a recent opinion poll on America Online, "God Bless the U.S.A." topped all other patriotic songs, including "God Bless America" and "The Star-Spangled Banner."

PS... I'm sorry. This is the one that came to mind. Sorry bout that. Still a good song though. :-)

Answer 4

I don't know the title, but the first one I heard was a country song. He sang,"I don't know about politics, but I love the USA".

Something like that. It CREEPED ME OUT!!! Sorry, but it really did.

EDIT
God Bless America came after. I never hear the song I mentioned anymore, though it was played constantly at the time.

Answer 5

The name of the song you are looking for is called Voices That Care. One of my favorite songs.
