1st off: how can nobody have written about this incredible song. Its in my opinion, the best off If I Left The Zoo. Great guitaring/vocal bridge in the middle. As for what it means...its taken from a quote by Fredrick Buechner. An elaboration that faith is reaching into the darkness and letting it hold and protect us. (God that is)
