  • GREAT SONG GOD BLESS

  • 6 People were drunk and their vision was slurred when they clicked dislike, thinking it was like. (:

  • India Arie, you are one of the greatest artist I know. Thank you so much for doing this type of music. Its healing to my soul

  • That guy doesn't look like he is blind. He was driving.

  • There is hope!

  • You've got to have it.

  • I really admire her. Her music, her style, and the way she represents herself through her music. She is definitely my role model <3

  • This song ALWAYS puts me in great mood:-) Postive!

  • this song gives me so much inspiration

  • This song will always be an inspiration to me and a reminder to always be grateful in whatever circumstances and be hopeful that even if things are bad and that they can get worse, the possibility exists for them to get BETTER!

  • They look like they would be a good couple!!!!!

  • I'm takin' back my power today!

  • beautiful song, beautiful lady, how anyone could criticise this kind of beauty is beyond me...they need to open their eyes. GOD makes beautiful creatures in HIS image in a variety of ways! :)

  • Will always love this song!!!

  • I still Love this Song:-)

  • Love this song! Also, is that Malcolm Jamal Warner? AKA Theo Huxtable?

  • This songh as really inspired me to seek the Lord because in him is where Hope lies.

  • 4 dislikes vs 1,150 likes hmmmmm wonder if they even matter(4 dislikes)

  • I LOVE this song, and I LOVE this video...Both have POWERFUL messages! Specifically (as it relates to the video), I admire the fact that India Arie is SOooo comfortable in her own skin...She doesn't try to fit the "medias/worlds" definition of beauty, and that in itself is both admirable and appreciated! Long Live Black Beauty...And, the Positivity!!!!

  • LIke, like, like!!!! Go India!!!

  • THEOOOO!!! :-D

  • I LOVE THIS SONG IT REALLY HELP ME THREW MY DEPRESSION

  • @Mslovely1919 Glad you're making it through or made it through:)

  • Comment removed

  • Liked this video until I saw "Obama 4 President" and "No War" or something along the lines of that. I like the song because I feel it has a deep religious and political meaning to it, but Obama was, and is not the answer lol. There's an ancient proverb, "If you want peace, get ready for war"

  • Fine ass malcolm jamal warner!

  • this song makes me happy

  • Um.............is that jesus at 4:07???

  • 3 people are "HOPE" less.. dont be.

  • @MrBrassMonkey12 Castaway?

  • @3hendy yes my friend yes greatest camp evaaa

  • I love this song. . . It is an encouragement to me and helps to stay true to my roots. . . In this world, there is so much around us to make us think that we are inferior but never have enough. . . But this song reminds me to appreciate the simple things in life. . . If we look hard enough, we can find soo many reasons to be grateful. . . God bless India Arie for making this song. . . She has and always will be one of my favorite singers. . .

  • floreat19 the good lord blessed you so much i m glad your still living

  • Amazing as usual!!!! I Love it!!!!!!!

  • i love how it says Obama for president on a sign :)

    great video!

  • Tremendously inspirational song from an exceptionally talented, intelligent, articulate & oh-so passionate artist. India has chosen to "low-key" her career for her own personal reasons........there have been practically NO televised award-show appearances, or guest spots on national talk shows (Letterman, Leno, etc.). She has chosen to let her music speak for itself.......attend her concerts, purchase her CD's. I'm fine with that, because I'm aware of her brilliance. I admire her passionately.

  • omg i love this song

    

  • This songs definitely my fave by her :)

  • two people must have had to pay to laugh

  • I really like this song. its so well done and the lyrics actually mean something instead of stupid meaningless love shit all the time.

    i have to tease her about something tho. shes playing an acoustic guitar in the beginning when the song doesnt have an acoustic guitar in it :p just teasin a lil thats all :)

    wonderful performance

  • "It doesn't cost a thing to smile//You don't hafta pay to laugh//You better thank God for that" <-- this song. that verse. it's that part that keeps me from doing something incredibly stupid in my stressful life.

  • How can people dislike this song? I hope you can relise good music

  • @wilcher1501 because they can't appreciate good music.

  • 2 ppl dont believe they have hope

  • india is amazing! such deep lyrics, av just started a diploma & wen am doing my work i put her music on2 relax me, this caused me 2 fall out with a colleague last night, she came around2 give me a hand with my work went 2 the kitchen2 make a brew & turned off my cd & put on her FLO RIDA cd, i got up & swapped cds sat bk down & put my head in the book & she did it again tellin me my music was shite so with temper i snapped her cd, i feel bad now but she should appreciate REAL MUSIC & not b rude!!

  • wow this song is so meaningful and beautiful

  • I love music with life meanings and Indie is a great artist I love her sound and style.

  • Is that Malcolm Jamal Warner?

  • This song speaks to me, when I was born doctors told my parents I wouldn't live long & even if I did, I wouldn't be educable.My parents wouldn't listen to that. Because of their support I'm 25 now& have Master's degree. All I want now is to thank my parents by helping others.I want to encourage people never to give up no matter how hard things are, there is always hope. Even if its just hope for a better tomorrow. I held on to that idea because I had to believe in it & it got me through a lot.

  • @floreat19 :D !!!!

  • Nice, I didn't know there was a video for this. This is her second best song, next to Wonderful.

  • Love this song just had to start my day listing to it, n I noticed Malcolm Jamal Warner playing guitar amazing, real music.

  • i was telling my atheist friend about this song, and i was like "it doesn't cost a thing to smile, you don't have to pay to laugh, you'd better thank God for that" :)

    and she went "... they really shouldn't talk about God"

    *facepalm* i couldn't believe she was so hung up on that one mention of God that she hardly noticed the two lines before it, or even the point of that third line; BE THANKFUL! not just to God - to your parents, friends, teachers, whoever helps you. realize what you have!!

  • @salinalov

    one line in the song that is so profound is "it doesn't cost a thing to smile.... you don't have to pay to laugh" Imagine if we had to pay for those things. 

  • We all need to be reminded of how blessed we are!!! How grateful we should be!!! Why are we still a nation of selfish, hateful people. I cannot imagine going somewhere with my little money and seeing someone with no windows, doors or eyesight, and reminding me I am blessed with windows, doors, cars, clothes, education etc....... Truly, what are we doing.

  • @cassieeluvve04 i soo aqree theres other less fornutate Nd here we are wantimq everythimq !

  • @cassieeluvve04 amen! this song is actually good!

  • @cassieeluvve04 That is so true! We are becoming a generation where all we worry about is how much we are going to get paid, or what clothes we are going to war the nexy day. The things that we SHOULD be worrying about is how our heart is doing, how our relationships are affecting our lives. God, bless America... Amen.

  • @cassieeluvve04

    one line in the song that is so profound is "it doesn't cost a thing to smile.... you don't have to pay to laugh" Imagine if we had to pay for those things.
