I see no reason to interpret this song, the meaning is darn clear. What gets me is the purity of the song, how authentic and sincere. I remember hearing it on the overhead speaker at work a few times, thinking it's a pretty goofy song. Then one day it just kind of stunned me, how much I wanted that joy and hope the singer obviously has. I ended up flying to Reno to his concert,..yeah, me the lifelong "nothing matters" atheist, now I own ALL of Mercyme's albums. I haven't heard a group this good since the Beatles.
