The song is an encouragement. When facing the downs in life I listen to the song and I rise up just like Heaven I need a hug. Kelly get back to the sensational gospel songs, they uplift souls I tell you

Does anyone not remember R.Kelly and the whole underage thing?, Unlike Akon, he Knew her age, Had several videotapes of him and several minors, Doing all types of illicit acts together, Yet he never saw a day in prsion or nothing. That's statutory rape and I think our government is retarded for just letting him slip passed when there is/was so much evidence. Yet you all support him and his music?... Crazy ass people.

R Kelly has truly touched the hearts of millions with this powerful song. He has found the words that speak for us all in this troubled time. Families and friends of the ones lost can take comfort in knowing that the whole world mourns with you. And that our hope and prayers for you will not cease. R Kelly has opened his heart once again and embraced us as Americans, and as human beings. His musical abilities are clear. And so is his humanity. His song "Soldier's Heart" was my first glimpse inside the heart and soul of this amazing artist. For your love, hope, and support for all of us, Mr. Kelly, we thank you. You are truly a gift to the world.
