YOU SIR ARE VERY GOOD AT YOU'RE PHILOSOPHICAL REVIEWS COMING FROM A STUDIO MUSCHIAN PERSPECTIVE, YOU DEFINITELY KNOW YOU'RE EAR FOR DRUMMERS, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK WITH THE VIDEOS MAN 🥁🎤🎧
At 78, this song is bittersweet. The music of my generation brings tears and memories, my babies were small and I had a whole lifetime ahead of me. NOW!!! I only have a limited number of years left and I wonder where did my life go!!! I have 2 wonderful sons, 53 and 57. Eric married 33 years, a son and a daughter and 2 small g’sons. Ryan married 37 years, 3 daughters. A grandson and a granddaughter. His two oldest are his first cousins he adopted at 4 and 9. And then their youngest, their blessing, got by in vitro on the first try. She turned 21 yesterday and she and her husband have new baby girl, Adalia will be 2 weeks old on Thanksgiving. My family is my greatest treasure, I’m glad I’m alive to be able to participate in their lives. If only by text, messages, and telephone.
HEY 78, LISTEN TO RANDY TRAVIS SING "THE BOX" . I'M 77 AND AFTER HEAR THIS iI HAVE STARTED MY BOX TO LEAVE TO MY KIDS. ON TOP WILL BE THE WORDS TO THE SONG AND SUGGESTION FOR THEM TO HEAR THE SONG.
Robby Steinhardt was a classicial trained violinist. When he was young his family lived in Europe, he would play in orchestras. Before his death in 2021, he put out a CD called "Not in Kansas Anymore" which had many guest artists, notably Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull.
Kansas - definitely a band worth further exploration. Some more song recommendations include: What's on My Mind Hold On Portrait (He Knew) Point Of Know Return Magnum Opus Miracles Out Of Nowhere The Wall Reason to Be Icarus (Borne on Wings of Steel)
Kansas is so awesome! Love this song so much Time is too short to gamble with. You need to hold on to Jesus and live your life the way he wants you to. Love your reaction!
What started out as a finger-picking exercise. Became one of the greatest songs ever. Same as "Life in the fast lane" by the Eagles. Or "Sweet Child of Mine" by GnR
I saw Kansas play shortly after this song came out and the band was still fairly new. They were playing and decided to jam. Crowd went silent. Last jam of the show. Great song, band, reaction. Thank you so much
One of my best friends growing up, Greg, died at 24, back in 1997 from non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. This was the funeral dirge he chose. It's hard to hear without thinking about him.
Didn't click for Kansas- though this is a great song- saw this and said "I like this guy, his will be great"...I was not disappointed. Your wisdom is far beyond your years!
IN MY OPINION, THE BEST AMERICAN PROGRESSIVE CLASSIC ROCK BAND, AMAZING MUSCHIANSHIP, UNDERRATED SINGER AND ORGAN( KEYBOARD ) PLAYER, TRAVISTY THIS BAND IS NOT IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME 🎤🎹🎻🎸🥁🎼🎵🎶🔊🎧
I heard him tell the story, apparently she came back three times to tell him that was a good song. The first two times he blew her off saying it’s not a song it’s just an exercise and the third time he listened and wrote the song. He also has said, “It’s not really a Kansas song. It doesn’t sound like anything else they’ve done.”
Yep. He's playing around with suspended chords, pedalling back and forth around a root note. It actually is a really great warmup for finger style playing and is an iconic melody
The song that taught us to play the air-violin. It is probably the one song that has the deepest meaning of life, even Socrates was inspired by it. (Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure) LOL
I grew up listening to this song in the 70's and I love it so much! Thanks for another great reaction video and congratulations on the 40,000 subscribers!! Onwards and upwards!! I'm a Christian and love to share what God has done in my life. I was lost and hell bound but thanks be to God that He was there to grab my hand. Never looking back!!
"The Wall" from Kansas is another perspective of ones self and living. I hear ya about how everything is too precise to think it just is. Only a higher power can make every thing function the way they do and need each other, from the...'nuff said.
Please do The Wall by Kansas. The white-haired guitarist-Kerry Livgren-writes the profound lyrics in the classic Kansas songs. He’s a Christian now and his search for truth even when he was in the band is evident in his lyrics. He has a lot of Christian music output just as provocative as Kansas’ music with his band AD as well as his solo records. Check out two Christian songs he got Ronnie James Dio to sing called ‘Tge Mask Of The Great Deceiver’ and ‘To Live For The King’ from KL’s first post-Kansas band album called ‘Seeds Of Change’. He also wrote an autobiography describing his search for Christ and Christianity by the same title. He was led to Christ by another member of a different 70s band then KL led two more members of Kansas to Christ. It’s an inspiring read. ‘The Wall’ by Kansas and those two RJD songs are gems. Enjoy. God bless and Rock on!
GREAT reaction Steven!! I truly LOVE this song. It's so beautiful - and meaningful! When I was dating my girlfriend (now wife), she mastered this song on the guitar (she was really good with the finger picking style of playing!), with me singing...it was a wonderful, simpler time! Now 28 years later, so much has happened...friends and family have passed...back to dust. Time truly is fleeting...and precious! Thanks for this. Cheers from Canada, eh!!
Beautiful lyrics. We really are just dust in the wind and here for a moment in time. I have my husband waiting for me when my time comes and I have no problem being dust in the wind blowing from our convertible with the top down.
Takes me back to when my Mom remarried , I had the coolest step Dad . He had the instrumental as the background music on his PC. I did say back in the day 😂
Saw them back in the day. First concert where I saw lasers used. Very good show. Check out Point Of Know Return, Hold On, Opus Insert, goes along with Portrait (he knew), and Loner. Doesn’t Kerry look like Edgar Winter here/lol.
I take it to mean that we are just drops of water, meaning that we are the same. And of course life is fleeting. Btw, not all people who don't "believe" think that this is all there is. There is life beyond. We all have a soul. ❤️✌️
"All we do crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see." :D There's a sign on my fridge that states "Good health simply means you're dying at the slowest rate possible" and I really can't argue with that. :)
Amen Brother. I knew I stumbled on your channel for a reason. Along with the great reactions knowing your a brother in Christ is awesome. Now let’s hear some more YES. 😊
At funerals and on Ash Wednesday in my church the priest says "We came from the dust ( as did the man Adam) and to the dust we shall return (in death). I believe that's what happens to our physical bodies, but our souls will live on in the light of Christ.
Another song to react to with the same kind of vibe. Reflecting on our past experiences and what we have overcome and conquered. The song is "Battles" by the band Axe. You will live it. Gauranteed.
Back when they were touring this album for some reason Kansas NEVER played in Nebraska. I lived there so a buddy and I had to go to Red Rocks, CO (God's Cathedral). Very well worth the trip and a nice ride on a couple of Harleys with our girls. 600 miles round trip with roughly $1.00 gas I've seen them since then with the new/replacement band members in Reno (former Harrah's outdoor venue) Still killin' it. I still have this LP./Album. Carry on Wayward Sun. Point of Know Return. "All your money won't another minute buy".
OK you have reacted to the commercial Kansas now you need to hear the progressive Kansas from before the record company was pushing them for hits. Epic songs such as Song For America, Journey from Mariabronn, Cheyenne Anthem, Incomudro: Hymn For The Atman & the totally mind blowing Magnum Opus. A whole different band there.
Great reaction as always! I'd love for you to react to a duet called "When I Said I Do" by Clint Black and Lisa Hartman Black. This song was written by Clint for his wife Lisa. They have been married for 33 years and have one daughter named Lili Pearl Black. Lili can sing as well and often comes out on stage with her parents to sing a song or a few! There is something so special about a duet... especially when the two voices blend so perfectly! This duet is so fabulous, you can really hear the love in their voices! The second duet I'll suggest is "Easy Lover" by Phil Collins and Phillip Bailey. It has such an upbeat cadence and the drums in this one are insane! I thought it would be right up your alley! The music video for this song is awesome, too! If you can, react to the official video. Any live performances are almost always done with a different duet partner other than Phillip Bailey and it's just not the same! Thanks for the great reactions and all you do for music! See you in the next one!
Yes...how fleeting life is, but also that, while we are important, we may not be as important as we make ourselves out to be, in the grand scale of the universe....certainly not in this physical, material world......that's what I get out of it. This is a song even us old school rockers have been reflecting upon since it was released....with great reverence! As far as your last point is concerned, with the depth and width of my thoughts and feelings, this can't be all there is......I have an eternal soul...I feel it and am in touch with it!
Love the commentary. I know were I am going and I guess you do as well. We just don't know when. Live life in honor of Him and love those around you. Great song.
Another great Band back in the day when I was growing up in the 60's and 70's...Music was great. Of course those same bands were putting out great music after that!
The guitar in this song started out as a finger picking exercise Kerry Livgren wrote for practice. The lyrics came at a time in Kerry's life when he was searching for meaning to life and all that goes with it. According to his biography it culminated one night when Kansas was on the road. In his hotel room there was a Gideon bible. He picked it up and started reading. Didn't stop till he finished the entire thing. That night he gave his life to Christ.
I was in junior high when that came out and and it coincided with studying Oklahoma history during the Trail Of Tears time. Growing up there I learned a lot about the tribes and their histories and traditions, and Cheyenne Anthem to me brought a lot a symbolism to what we were studying.
Interesting note: the lead guitarist of the rock band Kansas, Kerry Livgren, was a music teacher. The riff for "Dust in the Wind" originated as a finger exercise he used to practice guitar. His wife heard him playing it and suggested that it could become a song, which led to the creation of the band's famous hit.
Amen bro ! This Life is a Vapor... A Snap of the Finger . Then , Forever is His Kingdom . The doubtless Guarantee of Everlasting Life by simple childlike faith in Him for it , is the Bullseye ( John 3:16 & Ephesians 2:8-9 ) . Nothing compares to the Free Gift . Nothing more Beautiful nor consequential .
A great song. The Point Of No Return album is fantastic. Kansas music is fabulous period. From this album I highly recommend the song Sparks Of The Tempest. 👍👍🤘🤘
This song is the only thing that kept Steve Walsh in the band at the time. He was about ready to quit the band, and Kerry Livgren asked him to sing this song before he quit. Kerry wrote it as one of the last songs recorded for the album. He created the rhythm out of a finger picking exercise he would do, and his wife said she loved the way it sounded and told him he should write something for it. He was a pretty new Christian at the time, which was driving him to have more spiritual messages in his music. That was one of the reasons Steve was going to leave the band. He didn't agree with the spiritual direction and wanted to go do his own thing. He ended up staying for two more albums. You really should check out Incomudro. This song doesn't have any drums in it, and you really should hear how talented Phil Ehart is! As a drummer, I know you'll appreciate his talent, especially in that song.

Really appreciate the kind words and so glad you are digging the channel! 😁
"All your money won't another minute buy" is probably the best lyric ever.
😢😢❤so true .
"Does any one know where the love of God goes
When the waves turn the minutes to hours?" is right there, too. Gordon Lightfoot.
Shewee!! ❤️
Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald is a masterpiece of poetry. RIP to the 29 lives lost.
FACTS!!!
Only a handful of songs from each decade is memorable, this is one from the 70s , Kansas was a great music group.
"What shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world and lose his soul?"
🙌🏻
❤❤❤
“POINT OF KNOW RETURN “‼️
Another huge hit by KANSAS.
At 78, this song is bittersweet. The music of my generation brings tears and memories, my babies were small and I had a whole lifetime ahead of me. NOW!!! I only have a limited number of years left and I wonder where did my life go!!! I have 2 wonderful sons, 53 and 57. Eric married 33 years, a son and a daughter and 2 small g’sons. Ryan married 37 years, 3 daughters. A grandson and a granddaughter. His two oldest are his first cousins he adopted at 4 and 9. And then their youngest, their blessing, got by in vitro on the first try. She turned 21 yesterday and she and her husband have new baby girl, Adalia will be 2 weeks old on Thanksgiving. My family is my greatest treasure, I’m glad I’m alive to be able to participate in their lives. If only by text, messages, and telephone.
Wow! Seems like you have been blessed beyond measure! Thank you so much for sharing and have a wonderful Thanksgiving! ❤️
HEY 78, LISTEN TO RANDY TRAVIS SING "THE BOX" . I'M 77 AND AFTER HEAR THIS iI HAVE STARTED MY BOX TO LEAVE TO MY KIDS. ON TOP WILL BE THE WORDS TO THE SONG AND SUGGESTION FOR THEM TO HEAR THE SONG.
RIP Robby. I think of often. Oh, the good old days of Rock an unbelievable talent. Just a fan.
Robby Steinhardt was a classicial trained violinist. When he was young his family lived in Europe, he would play in orchestras. Before his death in 2021, he put out a CD called "Not in Kansas Anymore" which had many guest artists, notably Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull.
Kansas - definitely a band worth further exploration. Some more song recommendations include:
What's on My Mind
Hold On
Portrait (He Knew)
Point Of Know Return
Magnum Opus
Miracles Out Of Nowhere
The Wall
Reason to Be
Icarus (Borne on Wings of Steel)
Its great that you put your faith and belief out there for everyone to know. God bless you brother.
Kansas is so awesome! Love this song so much Time is too short to gamble with. You need to hold on to Jesus and live your life the way he wants you to. Love your reaction!
Such a beautiful song and so glad you enjoyed the video! 😁
Amen Brother Amen!!! My pastor told me you never see a hearse followed by a U-haul!!!😂😂😂
Facts!!! 💯
What started out as a finger-picking exercise. Became one of the greatest songs ever.
Same as "Life in the fast lane" by the Eagles. Or "Sweet Child of Mine" by GnR
My hometown band. From Topeka, Kansas and used to watch them practice. So proud!
Kerry Livgren, the guitar player who wrote their biggest hits, later formed a Christian band, AD. I can’t help but yell, “You’re my boy, Blue!”
Haha 😂 For sure! 💯
It's almost biblical. Makes me think of Ecclesiastes. Thank you for the reaction!
A masterpiece. Can never hear this one enough.
You should listen to, "Point of Know Return" (the title is spelled correctly). It's a great one.
For me personally, this is the most beautiful song ever, lyrically and musically. Such truth in this song
Such a beautiful tune indeed!! Thanks for hanging out and have a great one! 😁
I saw Kansas play shortly after this song came out and the band was still fairly new. They were playing and decided to jam. Crowd went silent. Last jam of the show. Great song, band, reaction. Thank you so much
One of my best friends growing up, Greg, died at 24, back in 1997 from non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. This was the funeral dirge he chose. It's hard to hear without thinking about him.
So sorry for your loss! 🙏🏻❤️
This song is just truth. Plain and simple.
Great choice this time.
Didn't click for Kansas- though this is a great song- saw this and said "I like this guy, his will be great"...I was not disappointed.
Your wisdom is far beyond your years!
Really appreciate that! You made my day and thanks for hanging out! 😁
I believe the same thing thanks for sharing your thoughts and faith! Great reaction!
Awesome reaction 💪🏼👏🏼👍🏼
🙏🏽❤️✌🏽💯🎯🇺🇸🫡
Keep up the good work 💪🏼👍🏼💯
✌🏽 OUT
Appreciate it!! 🔥🔥
IN MY OPINION, THE BEST AMERICAN PROGRESSIVE CLASSIC ROCK BAND, AMAZING MUSCHIANSHIP, UNDERRATED SINGER AND ORGAN( KEYBOARD ) PLAYER, TRAVISTY THIS BAND IS NOT IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME 🎤🎹🎻🎸🥁🎼🎵🎶🔊🎧
the song originated from a fingerpicking exercise that Kerry Livgren was doing...his wife said it sounded like a good song...lol
I heard him tell the story, apparently she came back three times to tell him that was a good song. The first two times he blew her off saying it’s not a song it’s just an exercise and the third time he listened and wrote the song. He also has said, “It’s not really a Kansas song.

Song for America is a great song also check out Lonely Wind from their first album
The song that taught us to play the air-violin. It is probably the one song that has the deepest meaning of life, even Socrates was inspired by it. (Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure) LOL
Haha 😂 Love it!
Kansas "Point of know return " also great
I grew up listening to this song in the 70's and I love it so much! Thanks for another great reaction video and congratulations on the 40,000 subscribers!! Onwards and upwards!! I'm a Christian and love to share what God has done in my life. I was lost and hell bound but thanks be to God that He was there to grab my hand. Never looking back!!
Really appreciate that and thanks for the continued support! 😁
⛵Another vote for 'Point of Know Return'
Alan Parsons Project-Time has a very similar message-huge hit.
Adding a violin (or any strings for that matter) really grabs me and pulls me in. 😌🤗
"The Wall" from Kansas is another perspective of ones self and living.
I hear ya about how everything is too precise to think it just is. Only a higher power can make every thing function the way they do and need each other, from the...'nuff said.
I especially like a song where the acoustic guitar is featured. This is one of my favorite Kansas songs. ❤❤❤
Steve Walsh was an excellent, lead singer for Kansas. Steve is good live, too. 😊
Please do The Wall by Kansas. The white-haired guitarist-Kerry Livgren-writes the profound lyrics in the classic Kansas songs. He’s a Christian now and his search for truth even when he was in the band is evident in his lyrics.

Awesome review Steven Keep up the awesome reviews Happy Thanksgiving and God bless you and your family
Thanks so much and the same to you and yours! Have a great Thanksgiving!! 🦃

❤️
The puddle thought it amazing that a pothole was created just perfectly for it to live.
Point of no Return is another banger !
Anything from their debut LP Leftoverture. Classic.
That was their 4th release.
Our bodies go back to dust but our souls are eternal. Kerry Livgren /lead guitarist is a born again Christian.
"All we do crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see." :D There's a sign on my fridge that states "Good health simply means you're dying at the slowest rate possible" and I really can't argue with that. :)
"The Wall" is a very emotional song by them........they have so many prog gems!
Amen Brother. I knew I stumbled on your channel for a reason. Along with the great reactions knowing your a brother in Christ is awesome.
Now let’s hear some more YES. 😊
So glad you found the channel too! Definitely have to hit more Yes soon!
At funerals and on Ash Wednesday in my church the priest says "We came from the dust ( as did the man Adam) and to the dust we shall return (in death). I believe that's what happens to our physical bodies, but our souls will live on in the light of Christ.
Mm. Four artists to listen to, Steven:
Rich Mullins
Chris Rice
Phil Keaggy
Matthew Ward
Course you may be very familiar with all four...
I was fortunate to see Kansas in concert in 1978 and it was such a great concert! Thanks for reacting to a great band that I loved!
I was an usher at the Fox Theater for the Kansas show in '77 and it was near perfection.
Another song to react to with the same kind of vibe. Reflecting on our past experiences and what we have overcome and conquered. The song is "Battles" by the band Axe. You will live it. Gauranteed.
Back when they were touring this album for some reason Kansas NEVER played in Nebraska. I lived there so a buddy and I had to go to Red Rocks, CO (God's Cathedral). Very well worth the trip and a nice ride on a couple of Harleys with our girls. 600 miles round trip with roughly $1.00 gas
I've seen them since then with the new/replacement band members in Reno (former Harrah's outdoor venue) Still killin' it.
I still have this LP./Album.
Carry on Wayward Sun.
Point of Know Return.
"All your money won't another minute buy".
Our life in the main scheme of things is really only a speck of time. What it's saying is luve life to the fullest you can.
One of the greatest campfire (bonfire) sing along songs of all time!
Lyrically The Wall is an amazing message.
OK you have reacted to the commercial Kansas now you need to hear the progressive Kansas from before the record company was pushing them for hits. Epic songs such as Song For America, Journey from Mariabronn, Cheyenne Anthem, Incomudro: Hymn For The Atman & the totally mind blowing Magnum Opus. A whole different band there.
Kansas was my first concert, this tour with opener Dave Mason. Please check out Portrait (He Knew) from Point Of No Return.
The Wall. Saw them at Iowa State Fair when touring to promote that albulm its on. Before Pink Floyds
Great reaction as always! I'd love for you to react to a duet called "When I Said I Do" by Clint Black and Lisa Hartman Black. This song was written by Clint for his wife Lisa. They have been married for 33 years and have one daughter named Lili Pearl Black. Lili can sing as well and often comes out on stage with her parents to sing a song or a few! There is something so special about a duet... especially when the two voices blend so perfectly! This duet is so fabulous, you can really hear the love in their voices!
The second duet I'll suggest is "Easy Lover" by Phil Collins and Phillip Bailey. It has such an upbeat cadence and the drums in this one are insane! I thought it would be right up your alley! The music video for this song is awesome, too! If you can, react to the official video. Any live performances are almost always done with a different duet partner other than Phillip Bailey and it's just not the same!
Thanks for the great reactions and all you do for music! See you in the next one!
Keep believing what you do, my friend. Your feet are on the right path. It's good to know there's something better waiting for us beyond the dirt.
One of my FAVS from ALL TIME!! :) ENJOY, STEVEN!!!
Such a beautiful song! ❤️
Another great Kansas tune! Fire with fire and portrait(he knew)
Great song was big on the radio back in the day..😂
Yes...how fleeting life is, but also that, while we are important, we may not be as important as we make ourselves out to be, in the grand scale of the universe....certainly not in this physical, material world......that's what I get out of it.
This is a song even us old school rockers have been reflecting upon since it was released....with great reverence!
As far as your last point is concerned, with the depth and width of my thoughts and feelings, this can't be all there is......I have an eternal soul...I feel it and am in touch with it!
Thanks for the insight and your unique perspective! Really appreciate it! Such a beautiful song that still resonates today! ❤️
Dude! I didn't know you were a follower of Jesus. My wife and I do too.
Love the commentary. I know were I am going and I guess you do as well. We just don't know when. Live life in honor of Him and love those around you. Great song.
1979 .. concert with Loverboy as the opener.
I saw them in concert in 1977. Great show! 🎶❤️
Another great Band back in the day when I was growing up in the 60's and 70's...Music was great. Of course those same bands were putting out great music after that!
"All we are is dust in the wind... Dude." -Ted Theodore Logan
The guitar in this song started out as a finger picking exercise Kerry Livgren wrote for practice. The lyrics came at a time in Kerry's life when he was searching for meaning to life and all that goes with it. According to his biography it culminated one night when Kansas was on the road.

Wow! That’s awesome! 🙌🏻
HOLD ON.... another song by Kansas you will like!!
So appreciate your sharing your faith! Our world is definitely proof of intelligent design by God. Christ is the only path to God… love your reviews!
So glad you are enjoying it and thanks for the kind words! 🙏🏻
Ashes to ashes
Cheyenne Anthem is a song i enjoy very much worth checking out !
I was in junior high when that came out and and it coincided with studying Oklahoma history during the Trail Of Tears time.
Growing up there I learned a lot about the tribes and their histories and traditions, and Cheyenne Anthem to me brought a lot a symbolism to what we were studying.
Great song for the fans of string instruments
Interesting note: the lead guitarist of the rock band Kansas, Kerry Livgren, was a music teacher. The riff for "Dust in the Wind" originated as a finger exercise he used to practice guitar. His wife heard him playing it and suggested that it could become a song, which led to the creation of the band's famous hit.
Absolutely love this band!! Saw them in’78! Incredible!🤘🔥
These guys all became believers...most after very hard living.
It was a great time to be a twenty-something.
I guarantee it!! 😎
Greetings from a new subscriber in Indonesia. Loved the song - music and lyrics - and your spot on appreciation and interpretation of it. Thank you.
My sugg: Portrait: He Knew
Most definitely!
Amen bro !
This Life is a Vapor...
A Snap of the Finger .
Then , Forever is His Kingdom .
The doubtless Guarantee of Everlasting Life by simple childlike faith in Him for it , is the Bullseye ( John 3:16 & Ephesians 2:8-9 ) .
Nothing compares to the Free Gift .
Nothing more Beautiful nor consequential .
Amen! 🙌🏻
Such a pretty melody on this one.
Every moment you spend with someone, could be the last time you do so. Treat them and the moment accordingly ✌️
❤️
A great song. The Point Of No Return album is fantastic. Kansas music is fabulous period. From this album I highly recommend the song Sparks Of The Tempest. 👍👍🤘🤘

Oh wow! Thanks for the insight! Super cool! 😁
For a good laugh, you should see how the lyrics are used in Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure. “Dust, Wind, Dude…”.
True words: no one, on their death bed, wishes they'd spent more time at the office.
BTW, it was Blue's funeral. Sung by Frank the Tank(Will Farrell).
That’s right!! 🤣
@setonhillstudios you had the movie.
The reference for this song is the BibLE.. Jesus is Lord!! God Bless you, brother..
I love Miracles out of Nowhere it’s a total banger
"Song for America", "Miracles Out of Nowhere", and "Crossfire" (as a Christian you'll especially appreciate this one!).
Bro i've seen I've seen Kansas live twice.The song you would like to check out is Portrait he knew
