I agree, they got a lot of crap for becoming mainstream, and I'm even guilty for getting a little weirded out when i saw that they had moved from, "christian" section to "rock" section...It just seemed bizarre to me, but i gained a lot of respect back for them after this song, and it has got to be hard--but I think the song explains its self pretty well. they're still the same people, time has just moved on. they still have the same goal, they just have the honor of giving to a more mainstream audience, the best part about it is that they're doing what they love, they don't really have an agenda...it just comes naturally through their lyrical form.
