Outside the Palace Lyrics

I've been outside the palace
I've been outside the gate
I still don't feel I made any mistake
When I got off that train
I felt my feet hit the ground
I didn't want to go where that gravy train was bound
God help me to see I've been loved all along
And not get too confused between the moonlight and the dawn
If I go back to the palace I'll walk right thru' the gate
Nobody knows how much here was at stake
I might get on that train, feel the wheel on the track
Move it up the mountain like a foregone fact
God help me to know I've been in love my whole life
And not to get so confused between the struggle and the strife

This is one of my very favorite songs. Can't believe no one has commented on this yet.

The first part reminds me of the story of Buddha every time I hear it.

It's a Christian song, isn't it? The "palace" is Heaven, I think.
