Lyrics:
There've been times in my life
I've been wonderin' why
Still, somehow I believed we'd always survive
Now, I'm not so sure
You're waiting here, one good reason to try
But, what more can I say? What's left to provide?
Are you gonna wait for a sign, your miracle?
Stand up and fight
Make no mistake where you are
(This is it)
Your back's to the corner
(This is it)
Don't be a fool anymore
(This is it)
The waiting is over, no, don't you run
No way to hide
No time for wonderin' why
It's here, the moment is now, about to decide
Let 'em believe
Leave 'em behind
But keep me near in your heart
Know whatever you do, I'm here by your side
For once in your life, here's your miracle
Stand up and fight
Make no mistake where you are
(This is it)
You're goin' no further
(This is it)
Until it's over and done
Oh oh oh oh
(Who makes the choice of how it goes?)
It's not up to me this time
(You know)
Comes a day in every life
Make no mistake where you are
(This is it)
You're goin' no further
(This is it)
Until it's over and done
(This is it)
One way or another
(This is it)
(No one can tell what the future holds)
(This is it)
Your back's to the corner
(This is it)
(You make the choice of how it goes)
(This is it)
The waiting is over
(This is it)
(No one can tell what the future holds)
(This is it)
You're goin' no further
(This is it)

This is what Michael spink's played right before he fought mike Tyson. 91 seconds into the fight Michael spinks was knocked unconscious. 😢
Thank you Michael McDonald for giving that push to Kenny to put him on top of the charts.
One of the best voices ever in pop music backed up by the magical voice of Michael McDonald! Wow! That was a time of great music.
Yes indeed 🎉
@@restorationconcrete , I agree!!
100%
Kenny. Loggins..and. Michael. McDonald ❤pure classic Amazing song 🎵
Happy 76th Birthday Kenny Loggins!(Born January 7, 1948)😃🥳🎂🎉🎊🎈🎁🍾🥂👍👏🙌
Happy late birthday to Kenny!!
He is really a Capricorn ❤️😊👍🎼🎼🎼🎶🎶
Love Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald❤❤❤ very talented artists
I thought he was born in 1947. I'll look it up--Kenneth Clark Loggins.
Between Kenny's lead vocal, Michael McDonald's soulful background vocals and whoever is playing keys they made this song a winner!
With and without the Doobie Brothers,Michael McDonald is a Hall-of-Famer.
Don't forget the bass player
Beautiful song
They co wrote this beautiful do g
I saw the Doobie Brothers in my day wow
Another example of how there were some SOULFUL white boys back then! Goooood music
Also the unmistakable sound of the backing vocals by Michael McDonald, who co-wrote the song with Loggins.
@@ebayerragreed
Yes. Cant go wrong w/ Michael McDonald backing vocals!!
Like Hall & Oats, Joe Cocker etc.
Bobby Caldwell. @@s.offutt3173
He wrote this song when he was struggling with cancer. And thought it was over. His father was near the end, and Kenny didn't want him him to give up
@@robertlund8864 , Oh Wow!
Thanks didn’t know this
2024. Still loving this song ❤❤
2025 still jammin it!!❤❤❤❤
Are🗣️You🗣️Gonna 🗣️Wait For🗣️A🗣️Sign
🗣️Here’s 🗣️Your 🗣️MIRACLE
🗣️Stand 🗣️Up🗣️&🗣️Fight! 🥊 🎹🎹🎹🎹
My go to song when I gotta be brave💯☺️
Thank You 💯
Some songs never get old and this is one of them that will be around forever.
A forever classic ❤
Soooooo true!!!
The history of this song is Kenny wrote it to his father, when his father was diagnosed with the need for surgery and his father was adamantly refusing to get it. Kenny won the day though and his father's surgery was a success.
This song was my song to my dad when he first got diagnosed with cancer. From the time he decided to fight it until the end when he couldn't fight it anymore and decided to enter hospice. He passed away Feb 8th with his children by his side,holding him. Miss him everyday.
I'm so sorry for your loss
I believe this was the same issue with Kenny Loggins dad. That’s why he did this song
So sorry for your loss. Parents are the beginning of our life lines. To loose them can be tragic. Hoping your doing better. A fan!
Whether dedicated to Kenny's father or not, the song is not about cancer or alcoholism.
If you read the lyrics and watch the original video, it's about a married woman having
an affair and stringing a guy along. He's giving her an ultimatum. THIS IS IT.
You're going no further, time to decide. It's him or me. Let your friends believe what
they want. Leave him behind. First verse, "don't wait for some miracle"...Second
verse, "Here's your miracle, it's ME, dummy". Perfect marriage of lyrics and music.
Very sorry for your loss🫂
I'm 70s baby (71) this came out in 79 grew up as a child to the best music era and If there ever was a song for what's going on in the world right now... This is it! 10/2024🩷
10/7/24😂😂😂❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
I'm a 70s baby, as well; both I and the song debut in the same year. 😁
How about Marvin Gaye's 'What's Going On'?!
We grew up knowing this is how music is supposed to sound.🎹🎸🗣️🎶
Same here born in 76!
Before "One Shining Moment" from CBS, NBC used this as its theme song for its NCAA men's basketball Final Four from 1979-1981. That's how I first learned of this song. One of the first examples of a network using a hit song at the time of release as theme music for a major sporting event.
I've always associated it with the NCAA Tournament. I wish they would bring it back for those of us who have watched the Tournament since it was used
@@ts7754 @eebradley1 : Born & raised in Louisville, Ky and I STILL associate it with winning the championship in 1980.
i remember that. think of that everytime i hear that song.
Perfectly said .... Indiana State ..Depaul ... Michigan State...
Apparently this song was dedicated to Kenny’s dad who was struggling with suicide at the time. Such a powerful song, a beautiful moment between father and son.
I thought it was cancer
It was cancer. The song is to his father, trying to convince him to decide to do treatments, or just give up and let the cancer take him.
@@lauracat33 His dad was about to undergo surgery and this song was Kenny's wish for his dad to fight the cancer. He spoke of it this morning (5/22/22) on Sunday Morning.
Whoa, no kidding? Wow, what an awesome dedication to father from son. Since age 15, his music makes a lot of sense today.
@@lauracat33 I read that his dad got through the surgery OK and lived four more years.
This is an amazing piece. It resonates with almost everybody in any situation. From loved ones dying to the freaking Super Bowl! I mean, it literally is speaking to us(he’s got the lyrics there on top of everything; the music is awesome too but it’s definitely something special here, it’s speaking out, it’s love, it’s strength,it’s not judging someone(“whatever you do im here by your side”), it’s sadness, it’s power,it’s anger-it runs the gamut of the whole damn human condition. And as always,it gets down to Love. This song is something to let our kids hear and just let ‘em listen and figure it out for themselves. We had too. Thanks for the help in that,Kenny.🙏🕊🔮
Still loving this awesome song in 2022, 43 years after it's debut. I LOVE Kenny Loggins' voice and his look. "You think that maybe it's over. Only if you want it to be." Michael McDonald co-writing and singing backing vocals further explains why the song is so great. 🔥 💛
I forgot that Kenny Logins ever dressed this way.
Me too
Me
What a great combo of voices
Ithis song kinda sad cause my dad battling cancer back then and so Kinney logging that why made this song
Classic! 😳
The keyboardist is killing it
KILLING IT!!!!
Everyone is.
This is one of my top 3 songs ever! When I was a little girl it was my inspirational song. I’m now 48 years old. Thank you Mr. Loggins!
Yes mam.
I had the song in my phone and sang it to my dad by his hospital bed. I knew Kenny's similar story and the lyrics gave me hope for a few months. My dad died a little while ago. Thank you Kenny for this heartfelt song.
Thanks you for following me and my page all this year's and for the support you've showered to me dear fan, I really appreciate it and I hope you never stop listening to my lyrics.... Where are you streaming from?
@@kennyloggins132
You aren't Kenny Loggins. Kenny Loggins knows how to spell and write grammatically correct and coherent sentences.
@@Kurt77777😂
❤❤❤
This song is so beautiful... I get misty eyed when I hear it
Only 3.4 million views is criminal. I've seen songs with a hundred times the views that don't deserve it nearly as much as this!
This what we once called... REAL MUSIC! 💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
yessss
we still do
Right on!
Still is.
@K we surely do friend !
Who’s enjoying this music during the Coronavirus pandemic? Just love Kenny and Michael MacDonalds voices.
Me...love this....I just turned 60... This song was my era.... Lyrics appreciated now more than ever
x0539p 🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️ Right HERE, I am. This song was used as part of a radio station commercial in Chicago, Q101. What a time that was, the memories & the music. And OF COURSE, Kenny Loggins 🙌👏
@@danperlman3185 AMEN!!!
@@martybowen1 amen back!
Love, your family..of Believers in Jesus. Our first love. Glory to God.
With Michael McDonald backing him up this song is just gold. Poured in your ears. Thanks, Kenny.
Takes me way back when music was worth listening to.we grew up in a good era
Loved this song growing up. Now at 50 years old the song has real meaning. Time to stop bullshitting and get this done!!!!!
Kenny’s vocals are impeccable. Nothing can be improved upon.
This man can really sing and I just love Michael MacDonald’s voice as well.
MM has such a distinctive voice, like in Steely Dan's Peg.
A Masterpiece ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was in Middle School when this song came out!! One of the best songs of the 80's with Michael McDonald with the BG vocals, man listen!!! I just need a time machine to go back to the 80's for real!!
RIGHT!
PATRICK HENRY JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL. Granada Hills, what the f!
Patrick Henry Jr. High School
Granada Hills, CA. 1980.
I think technically, this came out in 1979? I feel ya though 😊
I dont think that’s Michael McDonald, thats Kenny Loggins or r u pointing out that he sounds & looks like McDonald??
@@friedricengravy6646 It's actually both. Kenny Loggins is singing lead vocals, and Micheal McDonald is singing background.
They did a lot of work together.
For instance, they cowrote "What a Fool Believes."
In fact, I think Kenny Loggins was even considered a member of The Doobie Brothers at this time.
This is such powerful song. Kenny Loggins is one of the best writers of our generation. Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins make an awesome writing team. This is a classic and always will be. It’s 2021 and I’m listening to it like it just came out. Real music will always last because it touches people’s hearts
I dont understand why McDonald isnt in the copyrights listed. Expand the link/title page….
June 2022. Still just as good.
I knew I heard Michael McDonald's voice during the bridge
...actually came here to confirm that it was Kenny Loggins with Michael McDonald somewhere in the background.
@@Area51-zulu
You got it. Michael assists with background vocals and actually co-wrote the song with Kenny. My favorite Doobie Brothers song, "What a Fool Believes", was written by Loggins and McDonald making them a powerful songwriting team as both songs are excellent. I especially love Kenny's vocals on this song. He is one of the best, if not the best.
Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald , Don Fagen and Daryl Hall is one of the GOAT
His dad was battling alcoholism like me. Fortunately he bounced back to a normal healthy life. Like me. Thank you Kenny for this uplifting song I love you so much
It was cancer. This song is to his father. Decide to do treatments or let the cancer take him.
@@lauracat33 certain cancers can be caused by alcoholism like liver.
Whether dedicated to Kenny's father or not, the song is not about cancer or alcoholism.
If you read the lyrics and watch the original video, it's about a married woman having
an affair and stringing a guy along. He's giving her an ultimatum. THIS IS IT.
You're going no further, time to decide. It's him or me. Let your friends believe what
they want. Leave him behind. First verse, "don't wait for some miracle"...Second
verse, "Here's your miracle, it's ME, dummy". Perfect marriage of lyrics and music.
The hair, beard, shirt open… jamming… foggy stage… KENNY WAS 🔥🔥🔥!!!!
Who else is listening to this great song in 2024 ❤❤❤
I am. Would you believe this recording is 45 years old?
@@Juliaflo crazy right
Kenny mentioned this song in his memoir
Still Alright. . .about his Dad
Came here to listen 🎶
Me..
I am. This has been the best ear worm I’ve ever had! I’ve always loved this song.
No matter what specific event this song was really about, or whatever his dad was dealing with, beyond that, the message of this song is so easy to understand and motivating. It’s amazing so many people can be inspired by this song and use it to help friends and family, even themselves.
True 👍 ✌
😂love this song
Love Kenny forever
I very nice song, i love listening to him. Do you have any other favorite musicians?
"FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE, HERE'S YOUR MIRACLE! STAND UP AND FIGHT!"
This reminds me of 1980 NCAA men's basketball tournament. The Louisville Cardinals were high flying that year. Before Houston had Phi Slamma Jamma Louisville had the Doctors of Dunk!...with Darrel Griffith! They were the first team to use athleticism on the defensive side of the court. They were pinning shots to the backboard! They also won the national championship that year. It's amazing how one song can generate so many memories...
Yes indeed Rodney and scooter McKay from Mount Vernon NY winning the championship
Used again in 1981 when Indiana played UNC in the final.
Wow I was only 6yrs old but this was one of my very first sports memories along with the first 49ers superbowl and the Bird v Magic college hoops matchup.
This is a classic tune. It really brings back the good times of the early '80s.
1979
@@ec704 True. I listened to it in the '80s. A lot of Kenny's tunes inspired mine. Thanks and take care.
This song is pure MAGIC!!!! Best song Kenny ever did. Timeless. Michael McDonald's MAGICAL voice in the background makes this an all time classic & unforgettable song. Shoulda been a waaaaaay bigger hit. So underrated. Never get tired of it. Still sounds great 40 years after it came out. The 49ers played it b4 winning their 1st Super Bowl. Powerful song.
One of the ultimate songs for getting through tough times
3:21 my favorite part. Saaaaang Kenny
HELL YEAH!!!
I love this song. It has a lot of meaning. God bless Kenny.
This was one of my favorite songs growing up as a kid of the 80s. Back then I listened to my music primarily on cassette tapes (and vinyl). Ahhh the good 'ole days. :)
RestlessRick I wish the good lord would bring them back. lol.
RestlessRick the golden era ..... Of pure rythms ...tones...original voices.....
And now is...shit
@@andrekaliva And melody baby!
this was, 'the NCAA basketball tournament theme song of all time,' it should be re-established as the permanent song play for the tournament !!! / 1980 LOUISVILLE
There is a fluency and musical literacy in this kind of music that just isn’t as prevalent today.
❤❤❤❤❤80's
The bass in this song is absolutely legendary. There are so many people who have been born and gone to sleep to this.
It’s 2020 and this beat is still INSANE!!!
Why did you think it would not be? Do songs lose value with age?
Erik Larson for me it does .... now what
Yess it is.. I can listen to this song all day long.
This song played in the store today, and I didn’t mean to, but I was dancing...didn’t even care! Love it. Now I’ve been listening to it off and on the rest of the evening.
It's 2021 and this beat is still INSANE!!!
This song has some kind of magic to it I LOVE IT...
hector vega Yessss
The magic = Michael McDonald
hector vega agree
Agreed! (_not really digging Kenny in that blouse, tho... ahhhh the 70s_)
This song has a very powerful message. Kenny Loggins wrote it for his father, who was discouraged and losing hope because of his serious illness. Even though the lyrics have a universal message, if you listen to it thinking of Kenny telling his father to fight for his life you may get a whole new appreciation for the song's urgency.
Excellent
Still getting chills of joy and love at hearing this!!
“Are you gonna wait for a sign, YOUR MIRACLE” 1:09 Love how he sings that part. So much passion!
Will Always be a Classic!
I was 10 when this song came on the radio, back in 1979. The beautiful melody and harmony still flow through me just as it did the first time I heard it back then. Mr. Logins you are a great Artist.
I was 12
2022: I took notice of it around the same time when I pulled out an old AM radio and tuned in a distant station - Midwest USA - Added a special something to the tune.
This song was about his father fighting a deadly disease.
and his father ALMOST giving up lying in the hospital bed about to go into surgery/not caring if he lived or died. I heard Kenny mention this in a radio interview he did back in 1997. GREAT composer/Kenny is.
Depression!
@@mysticakhenaton1701 I feel that way personally now. Not depression....ANGER, and I have shit to do I can't do from here.
THIS IS IT!! A TIMELESS CLASSIC SONG LOVE THE LYRICS ❤ RICHARD SHACKELFORD
Best❤
Kenny is so smooth with backup singer Michael McDonald
I was reminded of this song watching WKRP re-runs. Both happy memories.
Kenny was on CBS Sunday 8/28/22, he looked great. This is It was composed and dedicated to his dad that had cancer. This song Rock my soul to the core. Thanks Kenny and Michael. Best Song Ever! Blessings
Love Kenny loggins music
Damn..I love this song...The opening to the song goes hard...On my daily playlist and I'm a black man..I love all music..
It's funny when people use "goes hard" incorrectly!!!
I'm thinkin' the music probably loves you back.
There’s a lot of a people who associate Kenny with Danger Zone and Footloose, which are great songs but he was definitely blue eyed soul early on.
Daryl Humphrey Alot of black people like Kenny n Michael McDonald
What does being a black man have to do with it? Smooth knows no color, race, or Creed.
Looooooovvvvveeeee this song. It still gives me butterflies when i hear it.
Always loved this song as a kid. Still love it to this day.
Love this song. We should never give up
I love Kenny Loggins. Man can blow, one of my favorites is heart to heart.
Hands one of the world's best written and composed ever done with honest and good soulful music for sale 4 sure Thank you Kenny and Michael.
Definitely a masterpiece.
THE BEST MUSIC TIME THE 70.S AND 80,S AMSTERDAM LOVE THIS
Hearing Michael’s back vocals… chills!!!!
My cousin was in the hospital for 3 weeks and died. This song was on the radio when I got in the car. Will never forget this song
I’m sorry for your loss🙏🌹
Blue-eyed soul at its finest.
This track along with bill Withers “lovely day” and Randy Crawford “one day I’ll fly away” take me to such a calm, mellow place. If you’re having a bad day, these songs change everything ❤️
Amen. On " Lovely Day".
Focus on Jesus.
"God is love"...
Think he could win a grammy today?
Once all these Crappers are either in jail with Diddy or left the country..Perhaps then we can get back to REAL music again!!
Yes.
I am definitely still rocking to this classic!
Kenny loggins songs are such a soul motivater, nothing else makes me feel so good. His songs make me bounce back always❤
Still listening to this song 2024, this is it!
Miss hearing music like this on the radio. Good Times.
Did anyone see Kenny came from out of no where like Jesus!!!!! This is it I love ❤️ you Kenny Logins 🙏🏽❤️💯
This was the song that put Kenny on the charts as a solo artist!
@ 3:04 I liked how he turned the Vocals off real quick then started jamming on the keyboard. Awesome Coordination.
Yes Michael McDonald has that distinguished voice I just love and I love Kenny Loggins😊😊😊
Just lost my mother- This has always been my favorite- has so much meaning to me now!
ThatGuyWhoPlaysGTAV Thank You Sooo Much!
For some reason- even as a child- this has always been my favorite song. Now I know why- Life Lessons( I know I'm being deep) But Its the truth.
Annette Jenkins God Bless You, Annette ~ ♡♡♡

70 year old lady but I know we grew up with the best music!
WOW! KENNY LOGGING 'S ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤1980 THIS IS IT
Mannn, I love this song!❤
Dam, i wish I had a time machine. I would like to go back to those days. back then. Music really help, because it were good
Yes had meaning to it
You have no idea what it was like, cause it's back in my day music 🎶 and I am still jamming!!!
This music would still exist if it wasn't controlled by industry execs. This is why Prince quit, they dictate what they want out, there are still artists who make this kind of music that the industry won't even listen too.
In the mid 1970s I got to see Loggins and Messina in concert in Toronto. Amazing and the opening act was an unknown band, Heart!!! Lucky me!!
Check out Gabriel Henrique on RUclips. He could do justice to any Kenny song. I'd live to hear him sing Celebrate me home or Conviction of the Heart. He could revitalize this music.
💯💯🔥🔥 this my jam
Gorgeous. Kenny and Michael. Grammy for Best Male Vocal of 1980 - winning over Christopher Cross who won everything else he was up for that year.
This song is in my top 20 songs of ALL times, and I am a huge R&B fan. Those changes, violins and Michael McDonald background harmonies are tight as hell. Kenny and Michael are a hit making machine.
This is a classic. It brings a lot of memories back
Timeless🎵😎
Such a nice song, i love listening to him. Do you have any other favorite musicians?
Just saw Kenny in concert in Arizona about a month ago. Love him!!!
Does he still sound good?
I'm jealous, you got to see a legend ❤
Background vocals by Doobie Brothers' Michael McDonald. Those were the days man.
Myers please so can you tell me what year that video was made the Doobie Brothers Kenny Loggins
@@chriswashington5338 the song was released in 1979. MTV did not debut till 1981. Not sure if this was pre- 1981. I do remember it on the radio.
Thank you so much.
Why were the doobie brothers here? Were they not their own group yet?
@@SusanBrooklyn Michael McDonald was in the Doobie Brothers.
that outfit!!!!!!!!!!! stop. love it!!! the years that this man and his voice have been relevant is astonishing.
One of my favorite songs !!! So sweet and calming!!! But still I have to sing in front of my client, once the lyrics : this is it comes up, and they all laughed lol!!❤😂
I’ve heard this song a million times but why is it resonating so HARD NOW!
As you get older it becomes more meaningful
Great song
I've been in love with Kenny Loggins almost my entire life!!! I'm your biggest black girl fan in the world ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I remember riding around in my 1985 Toyota Cressida blasting this song driving on the interstate from Knoxville Tennessee to Panama City Beach Florida ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
