John Ondrasik of Five For Fighting originally wrote this song out of his frustration with the music business but after 9/11, people quickly adopted it as a symbolic anthem. As to WHY he thought it was it was embraced, Ondrasik said “The idea that you have this kind of superhero who is bleeding and hurting I think reflected … our nation’s tragedy. It’s like, ‘Look, we’re America, we’re tough, we’re the best of the best and we kinda got hit and we’re hurting.’ I think the song kind of fit the sentiment of the times.” After he performed it at The Concert for NY, it became a hit and gave Ondrasik the recognition he needed - bittersweet as it was. ~k
