how i love the lyrics of this song ,especially : (stop playing the victim ,) it cheers me up and it is a moral boost to keep on going !!!!!!! You can be ,what you want to be !!!
I bought the cd 2 years ago ,and i,am hooked on this man "s music and lyrics.
I absolutely loved this song when it came out, haven't heard it in 15 years, and it's still as powerful and touching as back in the day... awesome... thanks bro...
When I was thirteen I saw the clip on german MTV. My school english was yet too bad to understand the lyrics of the song, but the video told the message. I still think its a great song. Listen to the SynthBass-Line: It makes you automatically nod to the beat. Thats big composing! And one of the most impressive and creative videos I have seen. Thanks for posting it here!
when i first joined utube this was the first song i favorited..[ posted by someone else]pretty much sums up what this stellar visual with wordz has meant 2 me over the years..thanx so much 4 posting this!!!! ..hail hail garland!!!
It's really really hard for me to express in words what this song (and video) means to me. Garland put the essence of human thinking into two simple lines ("give it up, kick it out/lift yourself up and you find the answer"), and created the ultimate 'think-forward' track, I think this is the song that he just had to make. A real, timeless classic, accompanied by one of the best music videos ever made. Music like this are examples of 'state-of-the-art' pop-culture.
beautiful, inspiring song. Has helped my brother a lot. thank you xxx

This is an unusual pronunciation song. Until that glorious voice. Great video. I admire, admire.
