Just an FYI for you all… this appears live on his live album titled The Live Set from 1987 released March 1st of that year. It was recorded live during the tour for the album The Big Picture and this song was track (or song # if you were to obtain on Cassette) 2 on the CD.
Dude, I was born in 83, and when I was a teenager and started to listen to music (all that crap like Shakira and the stuff) my uncle came with an CD from a gospel artist he said I would like. I had my doubts about, but he gave me this CD. When I first heard this song I knew it my uncle was right!
we are on a boat out on the sea
Off the coast of Africa
Heading for peaceful shores
With a cast of strangers
To an island hideaway
I hear you telling me
Of the place we soon will be
A rebirth from life’s demise
Where the world is still–it’s ideal
Anything you dream is real
It’s Hotel Paradise
And you say it’s nice
(when you run to)
Lamu–far away
If I’m not mistaken, this concert was in Atlanta, GA. Elim Hall opened up for Him. It was a most entertaining concert, and I think big picture was one of his best albums.
That hook at teh beggining is classic, listen to the crowd lol, This was my jam back when I was around five, I would be bouncing off the walls to this, what a show this lighting is off the meat rack
love Michael W Smith too and that’s why I download his music as mp3′s and his concert I have from his Big Picture concert And soon from his Change your world concert Looking forward to have it soon I wrote his name little wrong earlier sorry

THIS IS MY FAVORITE MUSIC VIDEO I HAVE!!!! It’s a shame though, I can’t watch it. I don’t have a vcr! I can’t even watch the other two early concert videos I have. Man!

This video was shot in Des Moines, Iowa and I was there, in the audience. It was so awesome!

This music, as few other ones of MWS, convey a very deep meaning for those who dare to look behind the first lyrics.

MWS was best when he was younger. His older stuff was always my favorite. Rocketown was my favorite song of his.
