This song is about Luke 16:19—31, 'Lazarus & the Rich Man'
In the story, it talks about a man so poor, the dogs even 'licked his sores.'
It also talks about how the rich man didn't help him, so he was sent to hell. In hell, he looked up and saw Abraham in Heaven and asked 'for a drop of water because he was so thirsty.'
Abraham told him no because there was a 'CHASM' that separated Hell from Heaven and he couldn't come down there, nor could the rich man go up there.
The rich man then begged Abraham to let him 'warn his family about how they should follow God so they won't come to Hell'
I hope that's proof enough. :) I absolutely LOVE this song. The melody, the guitars, the lyrics; everything. I like how this album has more of a Christian feel to it. Oh, and please don't start a 'Flyleaf isn't a christian band' argument. I know they aren't, but I also know they have Christian influences in their music. :) Great band!
Actually, FLyleaf labels themselves christian. Mostly every song they sing is in some relation to Jesus or God. I don't know much about the bible, but your explanation of that story seemed to go great with the song. I just wanted to thank you for posting. (:

That's exactly what I thought when I first heard the song!! Like MetroidFreak said, thats what I was going to post...thanks for it doing it for us!! I love the song.
And plus, not trying to start an argument, Flyleaf doesn't "label" themselves a Christian band, but spend a few minutes with Lacey or the boys, and you'll see instantly that they are all deeply devoted Christians, and that rubs off in their music. =)

Yes I agree!!!
Yes I agree!!!
I have no doubt whatsoever that Lacey is a Christian. You can see the Joy radiating from Lacey when she's singing "All Around Me."
