I just turned 30 years old, and have a memory behind most of his songs. My father and my uncle listened to this song and many others on the Unplugged album ALL the time. I was young, and of course didn't realize the value behind heartfelt lyrics and the power they have to reach out to someone and make them feel less alone. At that point in my youth, my family was going through a hard time, but I don't remember the details about those hard times as much as I remember so many times in the car with those two singing and talking about music.
Now that I'm not a kid, I relish this song so much and I understand the heartbreak behind it. It doesn't have to translate exactly as a love song.. it could be about any type of heartbreak. Right now, my house is being foreclosed because I got very sick, couldn't work, and had to go through chemo treatments. The disease ruined my chances of a career, having children, a home my husband and I worked hard for, and it stole years of my life I cannot get back. I had to learn to just let go of the bitterness and salvage my joy. Create new dreams with the person I love and stay thankful for all of the people in my life who I hold dear. So, ...we go running on faith.
Also, to this day, my uncle doesn't send a letter or email without the salutation "Running on faith." before his signature.
