I'm not religious but I've always interpreted this song as something that God might say to us in times of despair. The most touching bit in these terms would be the idea that we're told : And nobody can keep you from the one you know you are Nobody to steal away your sway the way you walk Need there never be a time that you don't walk through May there never be a time that you don't live through Be a star, be an altar, and I will hang it on you I interpret this as being reminded that no matter what happens, nobody can keep you being the person you know you are and nobody can 'steal away your sway' is reminding us that no matter how harsh the world is too us, nobody can steal away our uniqueness. And then it's like God's reminding us that he/she prays that there will never be a time we don't live through or 'come through', in-fact, it's hopped that we will 'walk through' harsh times. We're told to 'Be a star' to 'Be an Altar' and that God will 'hang it on us', in other words, we will becomes stars if we only believe that we can be. Then, the end really inspires me to 'carry on -' : May there never be a time that I don't love you May there never be a time that you don't pull thru Be a star, be an altar and they will hang it on you Bring it on, bring it on Bring it on... It's like God saying that there will never be a time that we're unloved and he/she prays that there will never be a time we don't 'Pull through'. We're reminded to 'Be a star' to 'Be an Altar' and then, at the end, it's like we turn back toward the world and say "Bring it on". It's just my own interpretation but it touches and inspires me. Cheers, Jamie |
