I think this song is a reflection for a man using pornography while in a relationship. The first stanza asks if it is even possible for one (who uses pornography) to lie next to a women and give her your heart and your body. It then goes on to ask if one (who uses pornography) can kneel before God "the King" and claim to be clean. The refrain is sung by either God or the partner who asks what He or she did wrong to the man "where was my fault in loving you with my whole heart?" The next lines are the man's realization of his mistakes. He notes his wife's innocence or "white blank page" and he grows enraged with himself and speaks to the object of his lust that "you did not think when you sent me to the brink/ you desired my attention but denied my affections." He grew addicted to the pornography which only desired his attention and nothing more. The final refrain is the man asking the object of his lust how he could have been so betrayed by his addiction and his offering of his body and heart to the porn. He ironically asks the same question as his wife "what did I do wrong is loving you (the porn) with my whole heart?" The answer of course is that by feeding an addiction to porn he became unable to fully love his wife. |

This song is a unique way of speaking to a women with an unwanted pregnancy. The lyrics speak to someone in a bleak situation 'Cold is the water, it freezes your already cold mind' and acknowledges that a life hangs in the balance 'death is at your doorstep.' Then, rather than preaching, legislating, or harassing the women, the lyrics gently promise that she will not be alone in this "you are not alone in this, as brothers we will stand and we'll hold your hand." To clarify the situation, the next verse acknowledges that the women is pregnant "you are the mother" and acknowledges that the baby in the womb is a life "the one to whom you gave life." The KEY LINE in this song is "And you have your choices, and these are what make man great, his ladder to the stars." The take away is that this tough situation also presents a unique chance for heroism. The women can become great and help move towards heaven by making the right choice. So yes, the women has the choice. The law and politics are irrelevant. BUT, one's choices are of profound personal and spiritual consequence. |
