Bruce Springsteen offered “a fighting prayer” for America during his concert in Toronto Wednesday night after the presidential election results were out.
Springsteen, who had endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris during the campaign, briefly referenced the election results when he opened his concert at Scotiabank Arena.
At the start of his second evening at the venue, before playing the song “Long Walk Home,” the Boss declared, “This is a fighting prayer for my country”.
He followed by singing the lines from his 2007 Magic track, “My father said, ‘Son, we’re lucky in this town/ It’s a beautiful place to be born/ It just wraps its arms around you/ Nobody crowds you, nobody goes it alone/ You know that flag flying over the courthouse/ Means certain things are set in stone/ Who we are, what we’ll do and what we won’t.'”
Springsteen, who appeared at an election rally for Harris in Philadelphia, then played “Land of Hope and Dreams.”
He apologized to the crowd for the more than an hour delay in kicking off, explaining that the flight was late, leaving the band “sitting on our asses.”
