c'mon man, can't you see the message in this? Call it cheesy but i dont think so... its not just all about "finding better days" and wanting the more meaningful things in life.
surely it concerns christmas --- hence the line "you asked me what i want this year"... and call me a jesus freak but this song, seems uncannily involved in the birth of christ---- "tonight's the night the world begins again"
christ came to free mankind and save him from his sins hence the "'Cause everyone is forgiven now"
and Christ did come to forgive... and he was born on earth on christmas as a child, hence the "the one poor child who saved this world"
it never really occured to me that johnny could be religious but hey, who knows...
and dont diss 'give a little bit' man! i love it..... the ggd have simply escalated from where they came from... and they continue to just that.
Actually I have read that he grew up in a Catholic household. So he has some kind of knowledge of God. Maybe he is letting that out a little bit. There are some lines from other songs on this album that point to a possibility of John talking about something "more", "Feel the Silence", "Without You Here", "Can't Let It Go".

"I don't care if they label me a Jesus Freak/cause there ain't no disguising the truth"
Anyway, I'm only here because I heard a Christian singer version on Air1 (The best Christian radio ever, mixes up the Power of RAWK with a little CCM love) Anyway, so after the radio guy said, "you might of heard it before, I had to know the original artist. So now I'm here and I find that it wasn't written by a Christian artist and am taken by surprise, because of the lyric content is so spiritually strong that it surprises me. It obviously has...

It obviously has to be about Christ, if you get the whole "Christmas" feeling though, because of the line "And the one poor child who saved this world." You could argue about the whole faith, forgiven, and peace stuff, but I only know of one child who came on that one day to save this world. So yah, I love it when bands that have no relation to Christianity write songs like this, because it shows that they are searching and starving for the truth that's in Christ alone.
