<p>Recently, I watched a great movie starring Clint Eastwood.</p>

<p>The movie is called &#8216;Gran Torino&#8217;.</p>
<p>It is about an old man who has lived most of his life in the same house.</p>
<p>One day an Asian family moves into the house next to him.</p>
<p>At first he doesn&#8217;t like them, but over time they become friends and he protects them from a dangerous gang.</p>
<p>I liked the movie and I also like the song. It was written by Clint Eastwood.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #800000;">Listen to the Song. You can also read the lyrics (words):</span></h3>
