Ny singlen är en klassisk ballad med stjärncellisten Svante Henrysson som gäst. Låten för tankarna till Christians musikaliska rötter som Rainbow, Scorpions, Deep Purple & Europe.

Låten är en hyllning till familjen, livet, tron och alla som supportat Christian under sina 35 år som rocksångare och en låt som kan ge kraft i denna turbulenta tid. En sång om kärleken till livet, tron och musiken.
