      I hope so! We need to save this history because depending on if the New World Order wins, as it seems they are gaining daily, they will try to rewrite all history and wipe it out. We are seeing it happen before our eyes. It’s up to us to find ways to save this history for people in the future to find (if we lose). I sound like a conspiracy theorist, but the conspiracy theories I tried to warn all my family and friends about for years are now I fortunately coming true.

      @DinkleDigeroo I missed where Jesus had a parable about lines in the sand...and maybe you need to reread the Prodigal Son parable. Hint: it's a caution tale for believers. The 'good' son let his righteous feelings cloud the joy he should to welcome the wayward who lost their way. Don't let your heart turn to stone.God knows us and his grace is limitless if we come home to him.

    Tom, I embody the line about the "wheelchair Ramp leading up to the door" for my wife. My wife of 20 years passed from Cancer 5 years ago. It was the hardest thing I ever had to deal with, leaving me with our two kids to continue raising. I am so glad that I had the family network I have, otherwise I may have gone the wrong direction. I have just recently found your music, but you truly are inspirational to so many. Keep up the great work. If everyone would just try to put themselves in someone else's shoes before they judge them, this world would be a much better place.

Heaven is not far away, it's just another realm, you can always talk to her and she is listening. I lost my wife from diabetes 4 months ago. Everyday is a struggle but I try to stay positive because that's how my wife was, she was the best thing that ever happened to me. Take care and God bless you and your family.

He was ckean and had so many dreams and ambitions after he got out of prison in 2017. Slowly he fell back to his old ways in the last 2 years. Now hes somewhere out there looking at life if he gets caught again. My heart i love him still

Spent over a year visiting hearing his story. Even took him to visit his mom he hadn’t seen in many years. But he didn’t make it…. Miss him - underneath we are all the same. He had bad PTSD, lots of abuse in his life besides the trauma of war…

    This was the first song I heard from you, Tom. It stuck with me as I fought through addiction and recovery. There were lyrics that hit me in that hurt but I’m happy to this day that I never gave up and now I’m building my castle with those sticks and stones. I know you’ve come out with hundreds of singles since this one and I love them all. Keep it up man. Much love to you.

    This man is gifted and his music appeals to teens, young adults, middle aged and older Americans during a time in history when the US Constitution and the American dream is being viciously attacked. He's clearly gifted & placed in this time & this place by God Almighty.

      People aren't being heard, and there is no uniting leaders, only division. The people, We, the people. are thirsty for a leader who will speak for them. Tom MacDonald is doing God's work (you define God for yourself.). Much love to all who still love and honor individuals. Show love.

      I'm 57...had one or two rap songs I liked but that was it. Until I heard Tom's music. I'm hooked. I'm an old metalhead, and I think what drew me in at first was the hard edge to his music...then I listened to the lyrics and realized how intelligent this guy is. He speaks truths many don't want to hear.

      Unnoticed? 10M views is a whole lot more than most people get. Dont get me wrong I think its an injustice that Gucci Gang goes viral but this doesn't. Just saying it went unnoticed and unappreciated is just false. I just found this guy yesterday, hes still finding new fans dude.

    Tom, this song is amazing, please re release it. Honestly this song makes me so emotional. I love you and am a huge supporter of you just because of you being you. I really feel like this song got buried but I also think it still makes an impact
