I was on my knees silently praying when the song Hindi Kita Malilimutan filled the air. I thought to myself, "Is this the same song sung on funeral rites back home?". I looked up to the balcony and couldn't resist smiling when I took a glimpse of the church choir - they were foreigners. Ooops, I mean, they were people from this land of the free and the home of the brave. What was even more amazing was that they sung it to perfection, not a single trace of any accent or whatsoever. To top it all off, the recessional song of the holy mass was God Bless America. Can we sing Bayan Ko too? America never ceases to amaze me. :)
