I absolutely love this song! We were given an assignment in English last year to create a CD that reflected our "philosophy on life" and then write a paper on it. One of my best friends suggested this song because the chorus was exactly what I was looking for.

One question though... what does the rest of the song mean? I'm not sure I completely understand what it's about.
