Cover art for Crown lyrics by Collective Soul

I was at the show in Atlanta. Our son played in the ASYO. Ed did say it was for his father, and if I'm not mistaken, his father was a minister. They showed his picture on the screen and I believe it said "Rev." I could be wrong. But my interpretation was that Ed couldn't follow his father's footsteps into the ministry, but yet felt he still had a "ministry" of sorts, through music. And this was his way of explaining that to his father.
