I was floored by the last verse of this song where he says I traveled a road that was narrow and thorny, that led him to another grace that saved him.
I googled his religious beliefs and found out that even though he's Jewish, he converted to Christianity. Jesus said the road that leads to life is narrow. The thorns refer to jesus's thorny crown, and the grace that saved him refers to Ephesians 2:8
" For by grace are we saved through faith, not by works less any man should boast." It warms my heart that I'll see Neil in Paradise. I wish I could say the same for cat Stevens, " there is a way that seems right to a man, but leads to death"
