I thought of Da Vinci too, i even made a poster where i pasted these lyrics next to a printout of Da Vinci's self-portrait.
i don't think this song is about Jesus, becuse the person in this song is looking for the answers and searching. Jesus already had all the answers, that is why he came to earth. And Jesus did not "live alone with his vision", he preached to many and spoke in a clear, easily understood manner, not "The words that he said were a mystery".
as for the person being Einstein, the mention of 'numbers' seems to support this theory, but what was the picture that he drew? Da Vinci was an artist, so it could be any of his works(i think the portrait was his self-portrait).
@findsomepeace You are writing from the standpoint that accepts the divinity of Jesus. Livgren doubted, and was collaborating with Walsh on the song anyway; they're not just Livgren's lyrics. On his own, he produces the version on Prime Mover, and the lyrics there reflect the kind of changes you say should be here were it about Jesus. The song was written from the standpoint of someone not yet fully a believer.
