Tom is definately a Christian and a strong one at that--that has been documented in several interviews. And this song is clearly referencing God and his healing power. But what makes Tom such a genius (aside from his IQ) is that his lyrics for all the songs on this record are multi-faceted. Most can be read and interpreted in more than one way. And I'm sure that was his intent. Is he singing about war? Yes. God? Yes. Family? Yes. His former bandmates? Yes. Love? Most certainly yes.
It's a pretty amazing thing to be able to write like that. His English teacher would be so proud.
