I think that Jon's voice was the right one for this album, Jason's for How to Start a Fire, and Chris...well, i'm not really a fan, but that's besides the point. For the instrumental sound and overall tone of the third album, they have the right lead singer.
Now, as far as meaning...While it's open to interpretation, like most FSF songs, I think the Christian slant works better, particularily with the "light up ahead" theme and the first verse speaking of a heart of darkness.
Oh, and the CD has an acoustic version of this if you bought it at Best Buy...I much prefer it to the full studio cut.
