It's also about a man being held down by his past, thinking he can't be anything more than what his father is or what he has been told that he is, by Satan or other people. He doesn't feel he can break free from his past:
"When the sins of the father
Are the sins of the son
All you do is crawl when you wanna run"
"Your daddy's demons are calling your name
Don't you listen to 'em cause they got no claim"
God is reaching out to him though:
"Come on, stand up straight. I'm proud of you. Take my hand. I know you can walk like a man"
