i think that this song is about the way in which his beliefs were molded by something he experienced as a child. basically how his religious beliefs were formed by his father and that "day [he] stepped into the water." and the way that it shaped his beliefs being that he doesn't want to "become a backslider". ok, that's my two cents.
