I think that when it is said, I am what I am, he is referring to verse which calls the Lord the great I am. I also think that the author could not be referring to two different people in this song. He starts talking about "WE will run and scream YOU will dance with me" that is exclaiming first, the unity of himself and the other, and then just the other when he says you. So, later in the song, when it is said "we walked through" and "you said yes," the author is still referring to that first person. There is one significant other that is talked about in this song and that is God. God walks with him through the fields and when the main person is broken down and falls before the Lord because of things that he done in his human flesh, the Lord says "yes;" yes you can still be my son. This is also making reference to the story, the Prodigal son in the Bible. The son comes to the father asking for forgiveness and pleading with the father and he forgives him for what he has done. This song is most definitely connecting with biblical ideals. |

This song is not only incredibly rooted in chrisitan ideas and beliefs, it reeks of heavenly foreshadowing. Of course, some may argue that it is not, but that's really just irresponsible to think as such. Even if the author is not a christian, his lyrics ring true the message of the Bible and even the teachings of Jesus Christ that came straight from our heavenly father, God. "death so full and man so small" This simply is contrasting heaven to earth. Because man was created as a part of earth, it is small and not at all in ability to be compared to that of Gods haven. Death is full because it unites us with God and "fills" the void we have tried to fill throughout the trials of this world. |
