Cover art for Save Me lyrics by Dave Matthews

This song is obviously referring to when Jesus was put in the desert for 40 days without food or water to show his faith in God....."he was walking there for 20 days he was going to walk on for 20 more"...."how about a drink or a bite to eat, no my faith is all i need"...... it is in no way a song about dave matthews being sacreligious, actually it's quite the opposite. He's asking to be saved, which in a way we should all ask to be saved because all of us sin...."save me, save me, mr. walking man, if you can, save me, save me stranger if you please or am i too far gone, to get back home"...it's a song showing that dave matthews wants to believe in God and is asking to be forgiven and saved.
