Originally written by Dennis DeYoung as a prayer during a self-described crisis of faith, this song later became identified with the first Gulf War. It went all the way to #3 on the charts and gave Styx the rare distinction of having Top 10 charted singles in three different decades ('70s, '80s, '90s).
