SO ALIVE begins this CD with a strong, solid feel that will get your attention from the very first intro. You can hear a lot of Michael W. Smith in his reflection as he sings from his heart to you. Listen closely!
BUTTERFLY GIRL has another amazing intro as he sings about his daughter and he means all the world to him. I must admit, this song will grab your attention with the amazing lyrics and melody. I love it.
ONLY GOD KNOWS TOMORROW is quite an ear catching song with strong lyrics and asking why things happen the way it does .This song will make you wonder about many things in your life.
