It was really catchy with the "nanana's" and I had a grade school crush at the time that I would sing the song to on the bus every day along with I'll Be There For You and others. A hopless romantic at a very young age, I know. lol

I borrowed my parents NJ cassette after that and wore it out. I used to put on "concerts" in my room and when Jon would come up from under the stage to start LYHOM I would jump out of the closet and act out all the moves. The rest, as they say, is history. I got my own copy of SWW next and heard Prayer and now 18 years later, I've become a bigger fan than both my parents.

According to my mom, the Prayer video was on when I took my first steps at age three so I was destined to be a huge fan. I have Cerebral Palsy, luckily a very mild case, and didn't walk till I was three and a half. I don't mean for this to get all personal but the doctors said I would never be able to walk so it's only fitting that a song about triumphing over insermountable odds was on when I finally did. It has been my favorite song ever since I got that copy of SWW and it's still my personal theme song for every challenge I face.

Sorry that this was so long, the question just got me thinking. Great thread!!!!
Awesome story! Thanks for sharing...everybody!
