the story behind the song you love

the song we all grew up to love
the man that wrote the song

also

lies a story of a man who battled
to abolish slave trade
he failed the first time round
he was devastated

he was told of these words:

You still have passion! That matters more!
Because after night comes day.

and then he fought on
and won the battle


let's take a moment of silence
close your eyes
and listen to this song once more...



i was blind but now i see...
