| This is one of my favourite Hilary Duff songs. You rock girlie! "So I won't give up No I won't break down Sooner than it seems life turns around" No matter what happens when things are going wrong, You won't give up or break down because sooner than you think, everything will be good again. "When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe That someone's watching over Someone's watching over Someone's watching over me Someone's watching over me" Even when you think you're alone, You're alone.. But not. Someone out there that loves you is watching over you and will protect you. | |

| Hil's voice is pretty clear and not so computer generated sounding in this song. It's just a song that makes you think about how if even someone you loved is no longer around....you know they and everyone else we always be there watching over you. | |

| a beautiful song. featured on raise your voice. it was dedicated to paul, her brother in the movie. even though he died, and she is grieving, she believes he is watching her and that he is her guardian angel and he is telling her to move on. and she does. | |

| I heard this song a month after my grampa died, and I just started sobbing uncontrollably. I couldnt stop, and I didnt want to. Everything that I felt was conveyed in this song. It worked with the movie so well, and the song is so true for me. | |

| how can you guys call this insperational?!!! there's waaaaaaaay better music out there that's real. it's not like this is actually coming from hilary. this is done by writters. so don't think that hilary is all "deep" or whatever. | |

| Someone's Watching Over Me is a really inspirational song. It's about not giving up, being positive about it all, being strong, not caring about what other people say and most of all, believing in yourself. Good one, Hilary! | |

| nobody has taken this stance yet... however, im going to say that the song has religious significance... i am a christian, and i think the "someone" could be god, and you know not to give up or break down because god is always watching over you. i played this at my youth group after giving a talk on prayer!! so yeah thats my insight!! 1 | |

| This song is really meaningful. I think its about losing someone you love and you have to tell yourself that uoi will carry on with life and be strong because they are watching over you. | |
