This song is beautiful in both its music and its words. Pachelbel's Canon in D Major has always touched my soul in a special way. It somehow makes me feel more closely connected to God and all of creation. Sometimes it makes me cry simply because it is so beautiful that I am overwhelmed in a good way. Several of Michael Jackson's songs have the same effect on me. This song uses a variation on the theme of Pachelbel's Canon as its foundation, and the result is indescribably beautiful! Add in the lyrics that poetically depict our inherent need to live in communion with others, and it's right up there with the most beautiful music I've ever heard (e.g., Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker Suite, The Beatles' In My Life, John Lennon's Imagine, MJ's Will You Be There?)!
