  • PEACE to the world!!!love every moment live every second because its breathtaking happiness comes from deep within.......

    If you know what I mean..

  • i know what u mean? if u meant by, her sexual orientation. that is. ;-)

  • When my brother was alive and we were vacationing on the baltic sea some many years ago we were listening to this song on the radio. I, for some reason remember that moment for the rest of my life. My brother and I remembered that moment, that all it maters to me. He's gone now and i'm sad but i know i have that memory of him and me listening to the song and the fact makes me happy, he liked it as much as I did :) I miss you bro so much!

  • Fantastic song from a fantastic album! And it lives again...there are new mixes about now and it is released on Feb 9th, the main mix by 7th Heaven featuring Banderas!!! :-)

  • These lyrics are so powerful, they make me cry......

  • My all time favorite song and one that kicks my butt into gear! Try and get a copy of the album too, it rocks.

  • Luv it! Great memries! And produced by Stephen "PSB" Hague... a true master at work.
