This song was heavily used during Cory Aquino’s presidential campaign back in the mid ‘80s (I was 11) and I still know the lyrics to it 😅

It was great to see a question that had something to do with Tony Orlando and Dawn! Haven't heard those names for an embarrassing amount of time...

The song ends with a picture of the old oak tree covered with yellow ribbons. A very touching song of forgiveness.
