      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.

    Since finding you by chance on RUclips a couple yrs back, I want to thank you for waking up a lot of emotions I thought were long gone in my heart.
    Could listen to you 24/7.
    Continued success and stay strong.
    And most importantly keep on the path you have found.

      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!!

      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.

    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.

    This song came out the month and year I was escaping my abuser, he beat me 10-9-2022 I had to wait until Thanksgiving to leave him it was the only way I could leave to see my family even though I begged him to come with me I'm glad he didn't he stole from me took everything I had and destroyed it this song came out when the week before I left him last year, I listen to it almost daily now and ball my eyes out every time, he told me my prayers by don't work but I pray every time I play this song and all I can do is cry and break down because I know this song is my prayer and God heard me. Thank you Divine for making such a beautiful soul who truly knows the fight for life is real. I wouldn't be alive if I didn't have a fighting spirit to know such love is real. Thank you!! Thank you!

Music has always been our way of communicating with each other. When we didn't have the words to express our feelings. So this song does that for my boy. And helped heal his mama's heart. So a heart felt ty from a mom

    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

    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.

    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.

    I don't think i have ever experienced an artist like Tom Macdonald. It seems like every song i have heard from him has stirred some kind of deep emotion and really made me think about myself, my life, the world, everything.
    From "The System" to "Names" to "Sheeple" to "Scars" to "Fighter" and every other song i have heard from Tom, they are all absolutely phenomenal. I have multiple autoimmune diseases that have resulted in disabling me significantly. I haven't given up, but this particular song makes me want to fight harder.

      @sabonas21 I too am in my 60s. My younger son told me about Tom during Trump's presidency. At first I couldn't look at him. Just listened to the words. I've never been a fan of tatoos and piercings. I'm hyper empathetic especially to pain. So it pained me to see them. I have found that these things make Tom, Tom! His message is so good and REAL! This song has touched my heart. And as someone said, it's just not long enough.

    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...
