Simon Cowell Breaks Down as Michael Bennett Sings “The Weight of Waiting” | America's Got Talent

Hi, for those who don't know me, my name is Michael Bennett . I am 65 years old and until now I am still searching for my child . There was a time when I completely lost myself . I turned my back on God and because of that my life fell apart . I ended up living on the streets with other homeless people . I used to live on the streets with other homeless people, but I am grateful to those who helped me back then . One day, through prayer, the Lord gave me signs . He showed me that I should play music so maybe my child would hear me . Before I became homeless, I was a singer in a band . I was an assistant [music] vocalist and I had been singing for many years . Even after all this time, I still have not found my child . Maybe through this song, I finally will . [music] My son, wherever you are, I hope you can hear this. You can hear this . You can hear this . [music] [music] [music] Dust on your bedroom [music] door . Name tag still on the wall . Shoes you outgrew [singing] in [music] a week . I kept them all . [music] Circle around one day . Coffee gone cold on the counter . I just [music and singing] sit and wait . This is the way to wait . Stand in [music] this hollow room . Every year another [singing] [music] promise I made to you . If time is a kind of [music] weather , I stand out in the rain . [singing] This is [music] a way to win . I carry [music] your name
