As others have commented, this song is very inspirational and uplifting - we have the vocal power and strength of a true Aries diva (Aretha) with the emotional, soulful voice of Cancer crooner (George) combining to give it passion and emotion. Not do I interpret it as being about an epic journey of faith to unite two lovers, but also about finding your own soul and strength after battling many inner demons to get there.
