I'm torn about the meaning because it has some religious imagery but also some sexual imagery.
The first verse, to me, totally sounds like a "first time" and/or the consummation of a marriage. It's no longer a sin.
But then he comes in with the born again/life changing stuff, which to me is a little dramatic to describe sex, but who knows? XD
Same with the everywhere/everyone stuff. So maybe it could even be leaving a religion and no longer confining one's behavior to what some one else has decided is okay. He feels free now that he can enjoy himself without the guilt so central to many religions.

I totally agree with you, I see the sexual and religious imagery. I think all in all, it's kind of just about love, in general.

I so wish I could have picked this as my first dance song at my wedding because I think it fits perfectly with that theme.

But, I could also see a song like this being played at a memorial service or something because it's got a deep meaning.
