Geoff Mann left Twelfth Night to work solo and write more overtly Christian songs. This song was written long before he left but is clearly Christian in its theme. The carpenter is clearly Jesus. The song can however be enjoyed by non-Christians too. It is a call for acceptance, tolerance and an openness to others as a way to lead a happier and more fulfilling life. I think that's universal to most religious and non-religious spiritualities.
