Cover art for Can You Heal Us (Holy Man) lyrics by Paul Weller

The religious intensity experienced just before the fall, and clung to so strongly after it.

The crushing feeling that you have no right to make judgements as you are merely mortal and waiting for your time (in the sky) and will you get in anyway? You thought you were special but you're just 1 in 5 (or is it 7) billion. Insignificant. That creeping doubt....

He repeats this theme in Above The Clouds.

I am unsure about the split the father and son part. Paul Weller had a great relationship with his Dad apparently? Maybe his Dad kept pushing him to lighten up and 'Let it Be' and PW just wouldn't.

The chorus is as is: Hang on tight, hang on strong, how much longer can this go on....sad, blue etc..

Great song. Gives you hope....but not as much hope as Strange Museum does.....
