I am 69, and recently played it at our church open mic night. Some listening had tears in their eyes…including the guy playing and singing. Your song can reach deep into a persons soul if allowed!

I missed you sorely when you left the music scene ; I followed your story and lamented that you might never return to it . Joyfully I saw you returned to it, somewhat subdued , but none the less , brilliant as always . I will always be a great fan of yours , principally because of your lovely and loving soul . I will always delight in your existence and music and wish you many , many more years of your doing what you do . Peace be with you , always . 🙏🏽 George Lewis Sr.( 81 this month )

I listened to all of your songs. I bought the sheet music so I could sing your songs. And they brought joy, and sadness and peace and yearning and friendship. You came to Los Angeles and I came to every concert you gave at the Forum. One night I sat in the front row. These are memories that I will cherish until my end days. God blessed you with unparalleled talent that in turn allowed you to bring unrivaled joy to millions. My mother thanks you. My father thanks you. My sister thanks you. And I thank you.

The first time I heard it, it instantly put me at peace. Every time I hear it now, I feel the hand of God on my soul. I cannot speak for others but to you, Cat Stevens, thank you and may God bless you.
