actually his name is Warren Wiebe
Warren Wiebe (July 18, 1953 – October 25, 1998) was an American vocalist and session artist from San Diego. After playing bass with several bands, he was discovered by David Foster and Burt Bacharach in Los Angeles in 1987. He did the duet "Listen to Me" with Celine Dion for the movie of the same name. It was never officially released.
He was one of several lead vocalists who contributed to the 1991 charity record "Voices That Care".
He is also famous for performing the song "Human Touch", a ballad which was used as one of the ending theme songs for the 1996 anime After War Gundam X. The song is one of a very small number of anime theme songs that not only was performed with English lyrics but was composed by non-Japanese songwriters. An avid ice hockey fan, he was also known for his stirring performances of the national anthems prior to Los Angeles Kings games. He did many demos with David Foster including "When I Fall in Love" for the film Sleepless in Seattle and when Celine heard his singing she wanted him instead of Clive Griffin to sing on the track. In addition he sang on the All-4-One hit "I Swear" and did backing vocals for many artists. Referred to by Quincy Jones as the "Soulful Rain Man" he battled mental health issues and took his own life on October 25, 1998. Several of his early work has been released posthumously but there has not to date been an album of his work entirely.

It's a shame Bush didn't start the war until Feb '91, so as to take advantage of the "90210" stars' popularity.

Lonely fear lights up the sky,Can't help but wonder whyYou're so far away.There, you had to take a standIn someone else's land,Life can be so strange.I wish we never had to choose,To either win or lose,That we could find a way...But I won't turn my back again,Your honor I'll defendSo hurry home, and 'til then...Chorus:Stand tall; Stand proud!Voices that care are crying out loud.And when you close your eyes tonight,Feel in your heart how our love burns bright.I'm not here to justify the cause.Or to count up all the loss...That's all been done before.I just can't let you feel alone.When there's so much love at homeWe're sending out to you.All the courage that you've knownThe bravery you've shown,Clearly lights the way.We pray! To make the future bright,To make the wrong things right,Right or wrong, we're all praying you remain strongThat's why we're all here and singing along.(repear chorus)You are the voiceYou are the light(repeat chorus twice)

Summers of deception don't work without the original theme music -- like, say, Dylan writing in agony on the couch to the accompaniment of R.E.M.'s "You Are The Everything."

Shakey, it's not too late to show some sympathy for Saddam.
I wish we never had to choose,To either win or lose,That we could find a way...But I won't turn my back again,Your honor I'll defend
