How about "You'll Never Walk Alone"? It's certainly on my list of overdone songs, but I think it's really appropriate right now and it's certainly inspirational. And it's a great range for a mezzo with a strong top.

Hello All -
I've recently been engaged to perform for a large (1000+) association meeting in San Francisco. The mayor of SF is going to be there, so it's a pretty visible gig. They want me to sing the National Anthem, then another patriotic song like God Bless America or America the Beautiful. Then they want me to choose a third, "inspirational" song.
The only thing I'm finding for "inspirational" songs is Christian religious music, which I don't think would be appropriate for this setting. Would any of you have a recommendations for an inspirational, not particularly religious song for mezzo with string quartet? My audience is older and quite conservative.
Thanks so much! Karena
