"Calling All Angels" - Jane Siberry

That was the song at the end of "Pay it Forward" after the kid is shot and all of the people are gathering for a vigil in front of his mother's house.

I'm still not sure if it was the song or the movie that might have caused a tear or two.

Another is The Foggy Dew, which, while not the official anthem of Ireland, can probably be considered the same as "America the Beautiful" is here, although it is definitely more bellicose. If two people sing it at the same time, it's a duet. If ten people sing it at the same time, it's a brawl. If twenty or more people sing it at the same time, it's a revolution.
