Having been diagnosed with FSH MD, an inherited form of Muscular Dystrophy, just a couple of years previously, Annie was finding the aggressive nature of the disease depressing and down heartening \u2013 and it was at this point that Hilary decided she had to do something.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The track, with its emotional lyrics and beautifully rousing melodic moments is a heartfelt anthem written to a friend in a time of need. Throughout the song Hilary speaks of times that Annie helped her, and how she is now honoured to reciprocate the kindness.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI know you\u2019re feeling like you\u2019re nothing but a burden,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">but I\u2019ve been there before it&#8217;s darkest when you\u2019re hurting\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">sings Hilary in her beautifully emotive tone at the beginning of the track.
