i think that this song is not neccesarily about death to christians, but to people in general. i personally view the legs as humanistic wealth, this 'of the flesh' as i am so often told about. it speaks of death as the loss of a need for those things, that when we die we wont need the things that hold us to this earth, and thus 'we give a change at last'.
this is, of course, only my personal opinion. i veiw meaning to be reletive to the individual reading/ listening, and so a song can have thousands of meanins, and not any of them the meaning the writer was originally attempting to convay.
there are, i admit, many christian connotations to this, and many other of his songs, but that is natural, as songs are a reflection of the writer. i still go by what i said, that this does not neccesarily have to be about heaven, but could be about the loss of physical things that we value, but will all eventually loose.
