I didn't know about this at all. Love it.
Anthem. My mom would play this song on piano when I was a kid. Sang it horribly, but was a gifted player.
Funny given that the other anthem is said to be so difficult to sing, that this one is equally difficult lmao. Spans over quite a wide range.

It's a nice touch how the song proceeds in the normal, rather optimistic key where you sing about "the dark past", and then it drops down a halfstep and begins to sound more somber where you sing about "the hope", then comes back up again.
