To anyone who feels they can no longer carry the burden alone, this track speaks softly yet powerfully: “You are not alone.” His compassionate voice is like a single beam of light cutting through the darkness.
Released as a single in August 1995 from the album HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I, it debuted at No.
