Yeah, its a cover of an old 80's song that's featured in the film Foot Loose. However, I think we can take Emery's version from a more Christian perspective:
"Up where the mountains meet the heavens above,
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there's someone somewhere watching me"
I could see that as being an allusion to Christ.
"He's like any kid in a small town,
They said he couldn't do it,
He knew he had to."
Nazareth was a small town-it was also Christ's home town.
The original is about wanting a man. I think that their version is kind of a joke, but it's possible that they're actually talking about holding fast to the faith that Christ is coming and they won't put their faith in something weaker than that.
Or maybe it's just one of the best covers I've ever heard and I'm putting way too much thought into this. One of the two.
