I used this song to get through some difficult times and promise myself that I'd one day get the things they talked about in this song. Now I'm an adult and I do, and listening to this song again made me weep with happiness. I hope other people can listen to this song and get through with help from it, even if it's an 'older' (not really) song now.

Brilliant peace from Finland. A Gift from Finland to the World.

As a mother and as child of father who has narcissistic personality disorder this song is the healer.

I had the gift to hear/see this song live. Everyone should have that gift. It was amazing.

I can't remember the last time I felt this way about a song. Simply amazing.

I was always willing to give this message to my boys- my first born never became a father but he was so opposite to his biological father - now I listen this to my sons memory…and he was truly wonderful and he should have got all the rights to be himself!!! I will not forgive those who did wrong and I will never stop loving my beautiful boy and his siblings.

Sometimes I send my friend Sonata Arctica songs with the message "Ready to get really sad?!" I think he hates me.

its a shame that the popular music of today hardly carry any positive and world changing messages. This powerful and beautiful piece of music has the potential to change hearts but majority of people wont hear it because of their closed mindedness. what a shame

It set me free. I listen to it at least 2 times every day. amazing song . keep up.

this song embalms my sheart and soul in peace and serenity, its pure magic, its more beautiful than words could ever describe.

What a song - Lyrics, Melodia Wow wow wow Thank you Sonata for this opportunity to be loved to be heard to be seen.....

This song hits on another level as a parent.

wow I loved this song, it's perfect

This song should be a hymn in every school in the world

this song hits hard if you dont feel noting you have no soul

HOT DAMN thank you youtube, i had AGES without hearing this song idk how i could not remember it

Thank you very much for playing this song in Wacken, it was awesome!

To be heard to be loved! ❤️

This song, text fits so well into my life, how everything has been & is .. canon song

Fun and cool fact: The lyrics of the song is based on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, which dictates every child's right to be, as the song states, to be heard, seen, loved and free, as well as every parent's and guardian's duty and responsibility to protect, guide, educate and nurture them to become tolerant, strong and the best version of themselves, regardless of status, culture and ethnicity.

Didn't know a whole lot about these guys until last night when I saw them live at 99.7 The Blitz presents Nightwish. They were amazing! *frantically KZfaqs all their songs* I'm really glad they were there. :)

finland has the best music absolutely loving this

Great song! Makes me want to cry

This song is working wonders for me. It's so close to what I've been praying about for hours every day for... some time now. I can listen to this and get a lot of the effects that my praying has given me,. I can project the song as a prayer without wearing myself down from all the thought fatigue of hours of repetitive praying.

Wou, what a song, I love it. Just listen it...

I can relate to this with my dad in a lot of ways...

wow, such a powerfull song...made me think...i love it!

There is this feeling of responsibility and protection. The need to treat the child woth respect, protect the magic of childhood, to make any sacrifice nessesary to keep them safe and loved.

Why would someone dislike this song?

Beautiful song ❤❤

An awesome song. I saw sonata arctica this saturday and they played this song \m/

My childs had always the right to be hear FROM me, i have saved them, they had always the freedon they needed, I have loved Them more i did myself, but they have lost their roots and kicked me in the ass, as i had a brain tumor. It is always a give and take from the Elder to the Young and back, and never egoism.

My dad needs to hear this

Questa canzone.....non la dimenticheró mai soprattutto per chi é che me l'ha 'donata' :LA MIA MAESTRA DI MATEMATICA Non potró mai dimenticare questa canzone e non smettere di sentirla almeno una volta al giorno !!!! Questa canzone mi sta molto al cuore anche perché l'ho usata alla mia ultima recita con la persona che me l'ha donata e anche lei mi sta molto a cuore per il suo insegnamento !Infatti adesso sono bravissimo in matematica

Made in Finland!

Another reason to love this band, I would have loved to sing this out loud to my repressive, conservative evangelical christian principal in elementary school...

A beautiful song ♥ with a strong message! I=I,

My favorite song by SA : )

Me encanta como el inglés es fonéticamente inconsistente, si no hubiera encontrado las lyrics, pensaría que la canción dice: "give me the right to be hurt, to be sin" en las primeras frases.

Me hizo llorar !!! Más canciones así

Music to learn verb to be

It's a riot.

Trans rights are human rights!

This song reminds me of Jen Talbot from the shadow children book series

This is finland music ,sonata arctika is finland band

props an unseren biolehrer

It's something I'm still trying to learn at 27

This song is my roommates ringtone. Has been for 2 years. Her phone is constantly blowing up all day. I used to like it but it’s just soo old now lol

try having a father that you have to say this to personaly we use to beat the hell out of each other bc we couldnt agree

I think that speech in the middle ruins this beautiful music, although I know it fits in the song itself 100%.

Hey

Actually i dont like this type of music. But this is

i know myself in this song

Lol commercial for a quad core laptop. It is all about those octa and hex core desktops.

Who else is listening in 2022?

Me too, lol.

:)

If I were a pro-life campaigner, I'd use it as an anthem.

Huh.....this would fit Hiccup from HTTYD pretty well

Why does every band these days take this route?

A little negative with fathers isn't it

Wish my transphobic family would hear this

Gay!
