In the live performance of this song, Jon Foreman explains that it's the beginning of a life in the first verse; the innocence and the beauty of being born, the fresh life that we have in our lungs and everything is new. In the second verse, we're torn from the things we've seen and heard and experienced and the pain comes ripping from us. In the bridge we're broken but not hopeless, and the chorus brings us back to our roots; that is to say, back to God.
