    I don't know how she doesn't cry on every song. If I had a voice like hers and sang the songs she sang, it'd be waterworks every time. Excuse me, but I friggin love her

    "Hearts would come alive instead of breaking". So painful listening to this song but also beautiful. Linda Eder's voice is tremendous.

    This most recent school shooting has touched me more deeply than all the rest and this song has me on the floor with a broken heart for all those precious children and their teachers and families. It’s a crazy world and all we can do is be kind…

    Brought me to tears too Linda. Powerful - no one could sing that as you did. Was right across the river in NJ - saw everything, the most traumatizing watching that 2nd plane hit that second tower. Kudos to you feeling the emotion! Tears??? How could you not?

    How is it that this woman isn't more recognized?? I adore her and her voice is amazing! She certainly could give Barbra Streisand a run for the money when Barbra was in her heyday. Linda Eder sings like an angel. She is one of a kind. A singer's singer.

    She is the absolute best all 4:11 around performer. Her voice and range enables her to go beyond the original boundaries determined by any set of any song. It brings entirely new depth and meaning, Which makes each song truly unforgettable. I wish I could travel all around and see her at just about every concert. What a dream come true for me that would be

    Long ago and far away Before the world had come to this I took for granted how my life would be Assuming that my freedom would be free Before these evening shadows fell I reveled in the light of day I rarely ever cried, my patience wasn't tried And heroes never died But if I had my way Things would be different Danger wouldn't come from a sky of blue Choices would be clear And strangers would be kinder Love a little blinder As it saved the day If I had my way Every now and then it seems We live our lives to such extremes Racing all around, never homeward bound Losing what we've found But if I had my way Things would be different No one would believe that a lie was true Choices would be clear And wisdom would be heeded Warnings never needed This is what I'd pray If I had my way The milk of human kindness Would seek us out and find us And color all the words we say And hearts would come alive Instead of breaking No one would believe that a lie was true Angels would appear Children would be cherished Hope would never parish Faith would not betray If I had my way
