An amazing song. Maynard seems to be reaching out to be people in this album and talking about his experiences with his winery. If you watch the documentary "Blood to Wine" about Maynard's vineyard you will really appreciate this album.
Talking more about the song; first some people might think that he's talking about God being the one who can bring color / hope into the world. In reality I think he's praying and asking for the Earth or perhaps even his mother for help give the land what it needs to grow at his vineyard.
The Earth approach is very simple, but Puscifer music seems to be more along those lines, with it being mostly untouched emotions for Maynard to express, in contrast to Tool, which is more of a group expressing their shared emotions.
Maynard talking about his mom (Judith) would also be appropriate. However, if you watch "Blood to Wine" you will notice Maynard mentioning him spreading his mom's ashes over the vineyard so that she can grow into the vines, and become wine and travel the world. It brings me to believe that perhaps one of Maynard's strong beliefs is that his mom (as with other people that die) become building blocks for life and the universe to recycle and become a never ending supply of everything.
Regardless of the exact meaning, it's obvious that Maynard is asking for a "blessing" to his land so that he can continue to communicate with people through not only his music, but with wine as well.
An addicting and smooth song, anyone looking to zone out and let their mind drift should listen to this a few times.
