This song is worthy of comment. It's not every day that a pop/rock song uses holocaust imagery and presents a universal hopefulness at the same time. Had she not been pigeonholed as too Christian to be mainstream, this song would have been appreciated on pop radio and even FM rock. The chorus is undeniably catchy and once you get the context, those people "labelled with a golden star" headed for the gas chambers are the ones crying out for deliverance, it's very moving.
