I am from India. I was raised in a Hindu family. I love Bob in general and I love this song specifically. Though I didn't know the Christian connotations that the lyrics of this song have, I could still relate to the generic meaning of the words, lines and the emotions and thoughts and ideas expressed by the protagonist of this song. After reading about the Biblical references the song was enriched further more for me.
The sense of despair the protagonist tells about is so rich in its understanding of the big picture of this world. Just the recognition, realization of 'Master's hand' in every grains of sand, every trembling leaf is the realization of the silent watcher within us, the one who suffers is someone else that our true consciousness and that we are all one, we are the consciousness experiencing itself subjectively through various forms.
Melody is soothing, the arrangement is calming. Bob's voice so deep and believable. I want to cry now.
