      deep mind That’s how I was when I saw Ben and the original cast in Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway! Cried from the first song until I walked out of the theatre! When I listen to his incredible album ‘Sing To Me Instead’ while on the bike at PF I cry during a few of the songs; especially ‘Older’ and ‘Run Away’. Ben’s voice just touches your heart in every way.

      @@michaelawatters8748 The nonsenses many believe in:
      - visiting moon and mars and that there are billions of years.
      - TV programs (the news channels) and schools share truth.
      - bible is man written.
      - the old devil with the fallens are myth.
      - believe what ever you want, live as you want , you`d be still in heaven.
      - humans aint sinners in need of SALVATION.
      - voting matters and governments care.
      - UFOs come and snap souls away, and not the BLESSED HOPE FOR CHRISTIANS, THE RAPTURE.
      - gender is changeable and that humans are created by Baphomet, who is the devil who didn`t exist.
      - MASONS aint the biggest and worst perverts in need of exposing.
      So, why souls, why do many believe in these nonsenses?
      Truth, which we do not like:
      - there is no billions of years, there is only 6000 years.
      - The UFOs have always been the FALLEN ANGELS. Fallen angels and the devil is not a myth.
      - there is no planets, there is only plane knows as EARTH.
      - there is no cosmos, there is HELL - EARTH - WATERS - THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
      - there is no evolution, there is the CREATIONS OF GOD.
      - there is no humans being only carnal being, there is HUMANS - being created after the image of GOD. (Human being = SPIRIT BEING).
      - the reality is not that live however you like, you still be in heaven. The reality is, COME TO REPENTANCE - BORN AGAIN, DO THE WILL OF GOD = THE NARROW ROAD TO HEAVEN.
      Matthew 7:21
      - the only way to HEAVEN is through the only begotten SON OF GOD: John 14:6
      - There Is a choosing we all must do: Deuteronomy 30:19 , Joshua 24:15
      - humans were created by GOD, in 2 genders, we either were made to be males or females.
      The truth we don`t like:
      - we are sinners who are called to repentance and to born again, Luke 13:5 , John 3:7
      - we are called back home with renewed minds and hearts, yet many shall reject the calling and perish into the torment.
      - we live under demonic power, the evil spirits in high places: Ephesians 6:12
      - there is a risk to be a lukewarm and a cast away. Revelation 3:15 , Luke 9:25
      - the final A.I shall be humans themselves, Spirits in-prisoned into the machine, wishing to die, yet no death for them. Revelation 9:6
      - as time pass by, there be more and more betrayals, among families:
      ¤ son against his father, father against his son,
      ¤ daughter against her mother, mother against her daughter,
      ¤ mother in law against daughter in law
      ……Micah 7:6 , Matthew 10:35 ,
      Luke 12:53
      - be not friend with this world but rather:
      Ephesians 5:11
      - Christianity is reality.
      The truth we don`t like:
      - TVs keep the whole mankind under MK MIND CONTROL.
      - there is none trans nor gay, all of it are the consequence from THE MK ULTRA MIND CONTROL.
      - there is noon the greatest lie again played with mankind: THE PROJECT BLUE BEAM.
      - we are deceived 24/7/365 through TV programs /news) and through wicked people.
      - we live in a BABYLON from which all are called to come out. Revelation 18:4
      - without the studying and reading the BIBLE, we then only deceive others, as we also then are deceived ourselves: 2 Timothy 3:13
      - all worldly holidays are pagan.
      - fame and riches come only through the deal with the devil.
      - PRIDE keeps us blind and deaf. Mark 8:18
      - generations of humans are destroyed because: Hosea 4:6
      - dealing with the BIBLE gives us: John 8:32 (TRUTH AND FREEDOM and SALVATION) as we:

    The comment with lyrics that you are searching for:
    You say you've been through this before
    You gave away all your secrets
    To someone who up and left you in pieces
    I know the feeling, believe me
    I know the prices you've gotta pay
    I'm sacrificing my freedom
    And all just to get somebody to see me
    Nobody said it was easy
    My heart's been broken and broken and broken and broken
    But I keep, keep on hoping and hoping and hoping and hoping
    That if it keeps on breaking and breaking and breaking and breaking
    Them one day it'll open and open and open and open and open for you
    Hey!
    I know we've both been afraid
    But we can't run from the wind and the thunder
    When we're dancing under the rain, the rain, the rain
    Hey!
    I know we got what it takes
    Ain't gonna run from the wind and the thunder
    When we're dancing under the rain, the rain, the rain
    We're dancing under the rain
    Breathe deep, let it wash over you
    We're slowly becoming lovers
    I promise you we won't be like the others
    We won't go running for cover
    My heart is broken and broken and broken and broken
    But I keep, keep on hoping and hoping and hoping and hoping
    That if it keeps on breaking and breaking and breaking and breaking
    Then one day it'll open and open and open and open and open for you
    Hey!
    I know we've both been afraid
    But we can't run from the wind and the thunder
    When we're dancing under the rain, the rain, the rain
    Hey!
    I know we got what it takes
    Ain't gonna run from the wind and the thunder
    When we're dancing under the rain, the rain, the rain
    We're dancing under the rain
    Broken and broken and broken and broken (we're dancing under the rain)
    But I keep, keep on hoping and hoping and hoping and hoping (dancing under the rain)
    That if it keeps on breaking and breaking and breaking and breaking
    Then one day it'll open and open and open and open and open for you (oh)
    Hey!
    I know we've both been afraid
    But we can't run from the wind and the thunder
    When we're dancing under the rain, the rain, the rain
    Hey!

I started crying during the scan. But then I quietly began singing Ben's songs and I could calm down. Most of the time singing helps me to relax. My heart beat went down and I stopped crying. Ben you are my hero! I don't know what exactly happened to me in the MRI, I think I just had panic, but your music helped me. Thank you so much!!!

    And all just to get somebody to see me

    Ain't gonna run from the wind and the thunder

    We're dancing under the rain
    Breathe deep, let it wash over you
    We're slowly becoming lovers
    I promise you we won't be like the others
    We won't go running for cover
    My heart is broken and broken and broken and broken
    But I keep, keep on hoping and hoping and hoping and hoping
    That if it keeps on breaking and breaking and breaking and breaking
    Then one day it'll open and open and open and open and open for you

    Then one day it'll open and open and open and open and open for you (oh)

    Hey Ben! Met you at your concert in NYC and talked to you about my Grandma and your song “ In case you don’t live for ever”. She passed in June and my best friend performed your song on the piano at her service. Thanks again for being a voice when I couldn’t find the words.
    This music video and song is stunning and I love following your journey. Love you and thanks for existing! Can’t wait for The Politician! You are killing it!
