  • Mark Bryant from Inverness, FlThese are not the original lyrics - these are taken from a live performance where Michael took some creative license (and nicely) with his own words.
  • Sir Lord from MichiganPraying for Time is the best single that has ever been put together in the entire English-speaking language, from lyrics to acoustics to performance by One Sir Lord George Michael! Put that in your pipe and smoke it, radio stations across the fifty states and around the Western Hemisphere!!
  • Susan from Airdrie, -George Michael's words in this song and in the interview excerpt above are so true. This song is sad, but it also, like he says, speaks of the perception, not the reality of it all. He gives words to our feelings, then shows us how to overcome them and be positive.
  • Shawn from Green Bay, WiEpic song. Great message. Very powerful.
  • Erin from Boston, Massachusetts, MaA haunting but beautiful song. Speaks to the desperation so many people are feeling, then and now. Time does seem to be the only true healer of our pain and suffering.
