Eric Clapton was rediscovering his Christian roots at this time in his life. This song is about Jesus Christ. "Everybody knows the secret, everybody knows the score"... because sooner or later you must accept the FACT that NOBODY is perfect in this world and we ALL need the Lord. It's a great track, not only because of the beautiful lyrics, but also because Clapton really belts out a screamin' powerful guitar solo as well.
really? too bad EC didn't write this song. As an atheist I find it pathetic really. . all the idiots trying to push the religion, when that's not what it was about. In fact I think if anything he ways talking about clarity.. I mean Steve Winwood. not EC.

Dude. As a Christian who believes in a "hell", not fire exactly but separation from the goodness of God, I consider that pathetic pushing as an attempt at rescue. It would be pretty terrible of me and other Christians not to do that, right?

You are incorrect about the song's author. Clapton IS credited as the writer. I suspect you know that, but you want to make your point seem more solid.

Clapton grew up in a Christian household. As he went through troubled times, he came back to that foundation. In this song, he is finding comfort in having been blessed with the basics - a home and the presence of God even though he was not devout and still struggling with the world of celebrity excesses.

We should a be comforted by the basics and rest in the contentment of the here and now.
