I imagine this song could be attributed to religion, by some. And religions have utilized it for their purposes. But really, it was yet another wonderful song created by Todd Rundgren, for the people of his (our) generation, coming on the heels of Woodstock, an enticement to change the world (as we all thought we could).

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." - St Paul (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)
