    When I was 17, I was diagnosed with Stage 3 GERD. Had ulcers in my stomach and it looked worse than someone who drinked their whole life. I was told by the Doctor that I wouldn’t make it. But then God spoke to me and said that he would heal me. He healed my stomach of the cancer in it. Praise God.

    Oh my goodness. My daughter heard "I'm a Belieber" and seriously asked if that is what Tom said!! I was shocked and was like, "Oh Hell No"!!!
    My friend has been blind for 25 yrs after being shot in the head. Getting his sight back was medically impossible. Sunday night at church he was being prayed for and said he started seeing shadows and light when he opened his eyes instead of darkness. It was confirmed Monday at his Dr appt via CT scan that his optic nerve was now miraculously reattached. His Dr is still scratching their head and he is praising God. My pastor and congregation are in awe of the greatness and power of what God is doing. Amen

      PTSD is terrible. I’ve got it too but from childhood. You have to forgive everyone including yourself first. Truly forgive and bury yesterday. Literally. Then and only then, will you come out the other side. I wrote everything about my past and burned it and buried the ashes. Then God came in and cleared up the tears. I didn’t know if I believed but OH WOW! He exists. Read the Bible. All your answers are in there! God bless you!!

      Believe in yourself and your power to make great change in your life. If it’s hard for you to believe in yourself and know that you are here for a purpose… ask you Angels to show you. They will. Fake faith if you have to, keep doing it and before you know it you will have it and you will see your own inner beauty and power.

Your words will never be forgotten. The girls wanted to hear more, and truly heard you. What will forever be remembered is the look each young lady had. I can never thank you enough for helping them to see they can and will always be fighters. You spoke to them more than I ever could. You may never see this message but for all who rebuild their lives, you are never alone. Reach out, be that fighter you are loved by people you haven't even met yet. Thank you Tom for the tears of thank you for sharing your story to my most amazing fighters that have graced my life.

    This song made me cry. Someone who has taught herself how to survive since she was four because her parents did the bare minimum. Someone who is fighting PTSD everyday because she was abused in every possible way and finally had the courage to tell someone only to be abused by “help.” Decided to give her only parent a chance, her mother died when she was nine, to only be kicked out a year later. She might have a job and a home now, but she has fears, ideations, and paranoia for the rest of her life….this song means the absolute world to me. Thank you so much and I have been listening to your music since I was 16 (19 in a month). It helps me form my own opinions and not be scared to have them even if I don’t always agree with your opinion, but I still love your music 😊

      Hello Suzanne, I just wanted to wish you the best I know it's such a hard thing to go through addictions and depression I went through it myself for years until I just finally could not take it anymore, just remember that sometimes people have to hit rock bottom before they can make that climb back to the top. It took me three tries and over 10 years of trying to get sober and out of depression but I've been clean for 7 years now and I would not go back for anything. Again I wish you the best and your daughter the best and get her into that rehab it will be the best decision that you make for her, but she has to want it she needs to want to be clean in order for it to work That's where I went wrong so many times. Keep your head up and keep praying and the Lord will help you all get through this like they say "This too shall pass." God bless

      I struggle with depression too so I get where he’s coming from, and I used to be an alcoholic. Trauma works in ways we’d never know at least not without a therapist or something. The thing with me, I cry on the inside, not outside, when I do cry on the outside it’s at complete random I believe I have BPD, this is on par with scars, scars hit hard too because I believe it related to self harm aswell, which is a bigger issue than people might think. Though we may not always feel like it or feel worth it, we should definitely let the words he speaks sink in, I tell other people these same things that they’re worth it and a fighter even when I feel worthless and give up, but they feel worthless too and give up, but when they look at me, I’m worth it and not as weak as I feel, I guess looking at others with some relatable issues is like a mirror, you can know you’re worth it even when feeling worthless.

    I survived a terrible traffic accident at 18, it was a wonder I even survived. In 2016, I still took tramadol daily to be able to live with the pain and doctors concluded further recovery was impossible, and I would stay 15% disabled in my upper body.
    I couldn't accept this fate at such a young age, I refused to live as a disabled person dependent on pain medication. I started training, revalidating, using every bit of info I could find. I perfected my diet.
    It is now 2023 and I am 99% fully recovered.

    The common denominator of all of Tom’s songs is that people can be strong and can be fighters without violence and hatred. We can fight the system with unity and patriotism. We can fight our personal struggles with faith, support, empathy and inner strength. He is such an inspirational artist.

    I'm a 51 year old cancer survivor (8 years). I'm missing some parts, and have scars from the fight. After a long time away, with my wife's help, I've rejoined my relationship with God.
    The thoughts expressed in these lyrics are exactly what people desperately need to hear, and are denied everywhere in our culture.
    Thanks, man. This video choked me up a little.
    Keep up the fight. We're with you.
    God bless you and Nova.

    I wouldn't normally say personal stuff on the internet to a bunch of strangers. But my mum, passed away two years ago yesterday when I woke up to Tom's new song. I've fought personal battles with depression, suicide, alcohol, daily life struggles, and trying to be the strong respectable person. But watching this was like listening to my mom still cheering me on to keep going and saying all the things she used to tell me. I used to brush it off and say "I know mom" but I really needed the push and the self respect boost. This one will be played on repeat for awhile and brought back whenever I needed that help from mom and that swift kick in the rear she used to give me when I didn't think i needed it, so thanks Tom. And anyone who reads all this ramble thanks.

    As a Christian i can appreciate you for singing a song like this. Your like the singer amy lee for me a singer who has god inspired in some of your songs and yet your not a 100% Christian . Buts thats okay, because we need songs like this that have good message to lift us human beings up. I been putting a fake smile when I'm going through hard times. My uncle passed away from bone cancer while dealing with a break up with my ex and it was tough to hold back tears. Because i dont want some people to think I'm weak when I'm going through emotions that i would have a hard time controlling. May god bless you for making these songs about the truth. Keep going strong with these songs tom 🙏🏻

    As a hard-core Christian, who loves the gospel and hymns. And doesn't really like any of this contemporary modern church music. I honestly believe that Tom's song here should and will be added to the hymnal books in the future. We live in biblical times folks, and Tom makes songs relevant and transcribing the cycles of life/ mind that every person is battling with... this is a beautiful song Mr Tom and Ms Nova... thank you for blessing us with it... you two are important, more than you know or, might even realize... this song will be added to the hymns one day. I'll make sure of it... God bless you two, and God bless everyone else...
