Cover art for Alive lyrics by P.O.D.

this song speaks to me about consciousness of faith, or the realization that faith is really all around us. i know most people think of faith as the literal, religious interpretation... but faith tends to branch out from one holy entity to a steadfast belief in the here and now. it may sound preachy but this is the way i view faith, at least, and how it is portrayed in this song. faith gets us through a lot of things (faith in the fact that the hard times will soon be over, faith in someone we love, etc.) and i believe that without any "form" of faith, we wouldn't really be alive. as human beings we need the entertwining of hope and trust in order to live every single day without backing down.
