This song is about finding Meaning. The Big one, the Game-changer. Could be God, could be the Buddhist eye-opening, or finding the right man/woman (so rare.) When we find it, we are 'lost for words', can't say much, The simple (and few) words in this song speak of the pain/despair in 'seeking' and the euphoria in 'finding'. The powerful music and the voice convey the rest - the intensity and overwhelm of that path. (the way that W.A.S.P. sing it I find most powerful)
As a teenager, I was fascinated by the mere sound and immense expressive power of rock music - I didn't speak English at the time, little clue about the songs' meanings. Decades later, none of those songs thrill me like they used to. Except for this one. Still resonates with me deeply, so much charge, so true, so human. Joy through tears of 'having suffered enough to get to deserve 'my happy day', 'Been forgiven' could be but not necessarily is about Christ. Christ is not the only one who forgives. Thank you Uriah Heep for not being specific, thank for making this song sound universal.
