    This song has helped me over and over and over again through the hardest times in my life. I’m a suicide attempt survivor and this song is so meaningful and has helped keep a positive outlook whenever my depression returns. I’m not perfect, and that’s ok. It’s fine. I love this message. I hope I can thank Tim in person one day.

      Ahh. I watched the original DVD when it was released after buying new 5.1 speakers. What a beautiful ride. Deep tickling of my funny bone... loud, sudden outbursts of laughter. Then this one, just transfixed and slowly crying alone. I slept like a baby that night 😄❤

    These words brought me comfort upon my exit, at age 31, from the high-demand religion I was born into. Losing belief in everything I thought I ever knew was scary and disorienting and this song helped me to realize that the earth was still rotating, that the sun would continue to come up, and that actually everything was not going to fall apart.
