Local ABC/NBC affiliate KAIT reports the crowd at University Heights Intermediate in Jonesboro, Arkansas, was floored by the fifth-grader's performance -- even crews working at the building stopped to cheer him on.
"He received a standing ovation halfway through the song," added Stephanie Andrews, a behavior specialist at the school, who shared a video of Lewis' performance on Ellen DeGeneres' video-sharing website. "This child has overcome lots of challenges, and watching him in a positive light was breathtaking ... We are so proud of him."
