On a deeper level this is a song about the Spiritual battle in all of us. She's singing to God.
I love how everyone took their own understanding from this song.
The voice is broken, passionate, hurting, and speaking from the heart from real genuine feelings and truth, and still pitch perfect. This lady is, in my opinion, one of, if not, the, greatest female vocalist of our generation.
I REMEMBER LISTENING TO THIS SONG CRYING & PLEADING FOR PEACE. YALL, I FINALLY FOUND IT & I'M SO THANKFUL. JUST THOUGHT SOMEBODY SHOULD KNOW IT GETS BETTER. LOVE YALL♥
My mom gave me this CD for my birthday before she died and the songs stay close to my heart
This song always makes me cry. It's so emotional. I pray that everyone reading this finds peace. With God all things are possible.
That voice crack may have been the most beautiful thing I've ever heard 😭😩God has been on my mind so much lately , I just want us to be close . I could use a hug right now , a good praying session , a few shed tears , and that feeling of love and acceptance you can only get from him
One of the purest performances by any artist ever. She is a treasure. Still brings me to tears after all these years.
"A lasting relationship not bassed on ownership" I needed to hear this song.
They said she was crazy, but this was probably one of her finest moments, peace of mind no one can understand.
When you realize Lauryn did not lose her mind, but reached a new level of understanding.
Anyone else start to cry when she does? That raw emotion hits me every time.
Lauryn Hill helped me escape an abusive relationship. Hearing the strength in her voice pulled me through. I could feel the light and energy, even when he was next to me. Now, it's been 8 years and I still listen to her music.
I cried hearing this for the first time today. I’ve lost my peace of mind. Due to mental illness and bad relationships. I’ve lost a lot. However thank you to God and self resilience I am healing. I’m finally finding my peace of mind again. My self worth and confidence is coming back.. thank you God.. I love you.. it’s just me and you.. the peace I have now is worth everything I’ve lost.. ♥️
“I know they’re not recording.” But we thank God they were Lauryn. ❤️
“I just can’t believe that you would have anything to do with someone so insecure. Someone so immature.” 😭 He is such a good God.
This past month I experienced "heartbreak" for the first time. Emotional devastation. For days I just cried and cried and cried. A few hours ago, I truly believed that I was forsaken by God. Then, I remembered this song. I laid in bed and listened to this song from start to finish, while uttering every lyric. I've always adored this song, realizing that it was a gem amongst the pebbles of YouTube. But it was tonight, during my darkest hour that the words of this song took on extraordinary meaning. It was as if the hand of Yah himself came to deliver me from the abyss of eternal confusion. This song became a prophetic word as it guided me to freedom. For the first time I have fathomed the true meaning of Grace! It is unbelievable.
How beautiful is it that the people in the comments are all living their own separate lives but have come together to express how very profound and meaningful this song is
She’s crying out to God 🙏🏽
