Skillet brought me back to Jesus. They will forever be my all time favorite band. Thanks to them I serve the Lord in 3 ministries and volunteer whenever I can. I have also met them 5 different times and was in one of their pod-casts. I just love them!
When i first heard this song, i almost understood the lyrics, but i never completely knew, this video solved that and the song makes perfect sense and i completely understand it now...i just wish i could hear these powerful vocals live for once.
I have a friend. Her parents were going to abort her, they were even so firm in their decision that they made it to a clinic. I don't know why, but last minute they changed their minds. I'm glad they did, because she is a such a strong and amazing individual, with her very own thoughts, feelings, and secrets I'll never know. I'm happy that she got to live
I first heard this song through a flipnote, and it was more of a "guy's gf passes away" kind of deal. This brings in another light that I would have never seen this song in. Beautiful.
I am glad to finally get an explanation of this song. I think iti is so powerful and massively underrated. Knowing the true story, makes the song even more powerful to me.
This song got me through a rough time. My grandfather died 6 months before I got the CD, I put the song on repeat, and I put "papa" instead of Lucy. I made it personal. I love this band. Though I am not serving God right now, I love this band, and I would love to see them in concert.
My husband and I saw them when they first began singing and opened for TobyMac. Awesome group!! Hope you are doing well! I just had my 80th surgery and found out Wednesday I need another one. I am here to say I would not be alive without Christ! :) Peace my friend :)
I have never met someone who had an abortion who doesn't deeply regret it and, as an adoptive mother, I pray that no one else will make this mistake. There are hundreds of thousands of couples that would give anything, including their life, for your child.
I love this,...... Skillet is my all time favorite band, no matter what. And this just put them over the top!!!!! :D -3 this song is so sad I've cried x1000000000
I didn't cry the first time I heard the song, but after I found out the story behind it I cried like a waterfall every time I heard it for the next couple days! Such a beautiful and heartbreaking song! 💔 It makes you regret every time you took your own or anybody's life for granted!
I always get so sad over this song... It's so horrible for people to think that's their only option. It makes me hurt, and I'm just a teenager who's never been in that kind of situation! I know they might not have had much else they could do, but abortion should never be an option; they should try adoption or give the baby to someone who can take care of it. I cry when John Cooper sings the lines '"I'll see you, in another life, in heaven, where we never say goodbye!"
I've lived through a similar story, not an abortion but my little girl died..This song breaks my heart.. Hey Hailey, I'll see you in another life, In heaven.. where we never say goodbye
Shaun it hit me hit hard too especially when I recently broke up with a beautiful woman that lost a daughter almost 13 years ago. And this performance has a powerful message as well.
justin copple I don't blame you. I'm sorry for your lose and I hope that the next women that you will find will be just as beautiful. I agree with you he does send this powerful and emotional message to everyone. I hope you find someone that will love you forever!
I just shared my story on FB and decided to post it here as well. ***I've been looking for a sign to share this story. Maybe your post is it. when I was in HS my girlfried was pregnant twice. Of course we aborted and my nightmares started. I had such vivid dreams that I had Killed someone. after asking for forgives my nightmares ended. Edit: the nightmares lasted for about 30 years until I heard Lucy by Skillet and I put 2 and 2 together and realized that they were connected. I prayed, asked for forgiveness and they 100% ended immediately.***
I am proud for my name that in latin is Lucy.I am believing on God and I'm not ashamed.God saved me many times and I'm very grateful.So,the last thing i can do is to believe in Him.
I never realized that was the story behind the song. I'll never hear it the same again. It's so sad, but I agree with Sarah S, they shouldn't have assumed abortion was the only option.
Skillet is an awesome band and GOD uses US all differernt. Their songs have Spoke to my spirit with things I gone through, going through, etc. We all reach the unsaved different. He explains the background about the stories and gives scripture on some. Also, The comment calling JOHN A LIAR saying it's about him and NOT someone else is wrong. Like one man said " IT IS NO ONE'S BUSINESS WHO THE TEENS WERE, PERIOD." I DON'T Believe John would LIE'!!! We ALL know someone that has has an abortion IT'S WRONG AND MURDER. This song shows the guilt. People need to REPENT. This song hits me hard as I had a miscarriage at almost 7 months which is still a loss both ways or losing a live baby. One should have a birthday, funeral, name, etc. To keep their child alive in their heart. Caleb Christopher, I will see you in Heaven. THANK YOU JESUS! THANK YOU SKILLET FOR YOUR AWESOME HEARTS TO REACH SOULS, YOU AND YOUR WIFE AND OTHERS ARE BLESSED. GOD BLESS YOU ALL. LOVE AND PRAYERS!!!!
@m109r1800 Thank your son for his service for me. I was a 10 year Marine and know everything he does for us here in the US!!! Good to have him home I'm sure.
to all those wondering who the parents were... IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!! Be happy with the fact he was willing to share ANY part of the back story. What differance in your lives will it make to know if it was the lead singer's, his friend's, his brother's, or someone else he knows??? Drop the issue and enjoy an awesome, moving song which should be heard by EVERY person who thinks abortion is not a mistake!!!
@oreogirl168 you know i have to Agree with you on that. cuz he said its very personal to him and. in the song when he says i got to live with the chocies i made. instead of they got to live with the choices they made. if the song was about a close friend of his. i but i have to agree with you. i bet he was indeed the father lucy
In my past, a friend if mine was sleeping around with this guy, got pregnant and even though I told her I was against it and showed her all the negatives of it, she got an abortion. I was so upset that she would do something like that but strangely enough, I wasn't mad at her but at God. I remember asking god why on earth would he allow this poor innocent baby to die. I was really doubting myself because I was totally against abortion and I was suffering so much. But I figured out it was my friend'a decision, not god's, for her to get an abortion. I was mad at her for a bit, but ended up forgiving her. But I was still struggling with the fact that a baby was dead and I couldn't do anything to save it, I was 14 at the time and my friend was 15. She had decided to name her baby Faith. I listened to this song and finally understood it's meaning because I was going through something similar; this song was a big part to start the healing process. It's still hard at times, but I'm doing a lot better; though I'm not hanging out worth my friend anymore. As close as we were, she was dragging me down and she didn't want to get help to sort out her life. I feel pity for her, but she brought this upon herself; I just pray that she doesn't continue with her lifestyle before it's too late and that she finally gets help. I don't know if my testimony helped anyone, but please, please don't consider abortion as the way out; it's not. It causes way more problems, there's the guilt of killing your child and the hurt and pain that comes from that. You will have to live with that for a long time. I hope my story has helped someone, I know that God will take my experience and use it to help others.
+Dylan Metalhead You need to learn about life - technical life...I'm a physician and the baby's heart is beating before you ever even know your pregnant. It's a life...it's a life at conception. A life that's meant to exist.
justfortigger Would it be better off we continue to over-populate areas rather than keep it under constant population control? I don't want to argue, because my goal was to make Allassiel feel better. I'm almost positive the brain isn't developed at this point, so in the end the baby doesn't even feel anything anyway. Everything is perception

Never knew Lucy was a baby. I just teared up listening this.
Rest in peace, Lucy. I hope to meet you in heaven one day :)
Me too

I'm crying.. knowing the story behind it, this song is even more beautiful.

I love Skillet and this is one of my favourite songs they made. R.I.P Lucy.
I read this online a while ago, but hearing it from his mouth... I'm in tears. Wow.
I was at this concert but I never realized that was the first time he explained it. Wow... Speechless.
I've never met Lucy, and I don't think I'll EVER FORGET THAT NAME!
I never saw a drummer play like that before - like an extension of the drum itself! Crazy! :) Love Skillet!
I have a friend. Her parents were going to abort her, they were even so firm in their decision that they made it to a clinic. I don't know why, but last minute they changed their minds.

Great song, great testimony! This song will save lives!
Wow. This song suddenly has SO much more meaning. This is an awesome song.
I started crying after watching this... :( love this song! i cry everytime i hear it too..
I first heard this song through a flipnote, and it was more of a "guy's gf passes away" kind of deal. This brings in another light that I would have never seen this song in. Beautiful.
I never even thought it was about that.... wow....
i cried so much at this story i cry when i hear the song #r.i.p.lucy i hope they see her again "in another life in heaven were we never say goodbye"
I am glad to finally get an explanation of this song. I think iti is so powerful and massively underrated. Knowing the true story, makes the song even more powerful to me.

Consider coming back to Him! He is good, Yahweh. And always ready for you.
It’s never too late. He’ll always receive you with open eyes
“Arms”
My husband and I saw them when they first began singing and opened for TobyMac. Awesome group!! Hope you are doing well! I just had my 80th surgery and found out Wednesday I need another one. I am here to say I would not be alive without Christ! :) Peace my friend :)
Such a great song, I've listened to it a countless number of times. It's sad, but beautiful at the same time.
Most goosebumps ever...really makes you think. This was one of my fav songs before I knew the meaning. RIP Lucy....
"Fetus" means baby in Latin. So if anyone tells you it's not a baby, it's a fetus, tell them there argument is invalid. :)
Thank you for this information!!!
Even though I am not a practicing christian I NEED to see this band live in person. The music from Awake really hit me hard in a great way.
Definently brought some tears to my eyes, beautiful song.
I was there for this and was soo happy he finally shared with us what "Lucy" was about, soo touching John
i cried. that is an emotional and dramatic story. i love the song and the band. i did NOT know this is based on an ACTUAL story! :'(
Wow John's voice sounds awesome especially in this one!
This song is dear to my heart. Well done!
This is so intense, now that he explained it.... What an amazing group :)
these guys are pretty good live
Oh my brought tears to my eyes ...Coooer you guys bring it always to our hearts.....love you guys so much!!!
I acally cried when I first heard this song on the awake album
R.I.P LUCY

This was so touching!
I was at the concert in Greensboro, NC and this song was my most favorite.
My nose is running and my eyes are pouring and now I'm depressed BUT I STILL LOVE THIS SONG
I love this,...... Skillet is my all time favorite band, no matter what. And this just put them over the top!!!!! :D -3 this song is so sad I've cried x1000000000
I was there..it was my birthday present and my birthday was the next day..one of the best presents ever:)
Thank you 😭 Skillet ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I didn't cry the first time I heard the song, but after I found out the story behind it I cried like a waterfall every time I heard it for the next couple days!
Such a beautiful and heartbreaking song! 💔
It makes you regret every time you took your own or anybody's life for granted!
in another video you can actually see john crying at one point i love this song and the message behind it
Love this song makes me a man cry for ages
Rip Lucy
This song brings tears to my eyes everytime
This song means so much to me. I have had 3 miscarriages and it kills me every day
I always get so sad over this song... It's so horrible for people to think that's their only option. It makes me hurt, and I'm just a teenager who's never been in that kind of situation! I know they might not have had much else they could do, but abortion should never be an option; they should try adoption or give the baby to someone who can take care of it. I cry when John Cooper sings the lines '"I'll see you, in another life, in heaven, where we never say goodbye!"
Saddest song i have heard in years
Beautiful.
this hurts me because my friend was killed and the only thing i want to do is hug him and call him his nickname once more. just once more.
Aww sorry for ur lost
Sorry for your loss
I don’t know why, but you seem oddly familiar!
One of my fav. Songs ♡ Personal meaning
Why do I have a feeling he was the boy...
RIP Lucy.

I literally cried when he started singing because of what he had said before(/.\)
Eblvery time i hear this... It reminds me of my baby named lucy whodied 3 days later

Shaun it hit me hit hard too especially when I recently broke up with a beautiful woman that lost a daughter almost 13 years ago. And this performance has a powerful message as well.

I hope you find someone that will love you forever!
Before I knew what the story was. I didnt know who Lucy was or what the lyrics were about. The song means so much more knowing the story.
Yea!
I just shared my story on FB and decided to post it here as well.

Skillet is the best band ever.
@markswartzvids I am enlisting in a year for Marines. Thx for your service man.
I cried so bad... :,(

I never realized that was the story behind the song. I'll never hear it the same again. It's so sad, but I agree with Sarah S, they shouldn't have assumed abortion was the only option.
So sad 😢😭😓I know he feels
Take comfort in the fact that you'll see your child again if your faith is in Christ. Pray for His peace and freedom from the guilt. :)

If you want to be technical, it wasn't alive yet, now if they waited for the baby to be born and then killed it then..
