Blake_b_mccoy from Charlotte NcI know I’m like 16 years late, but every time I here this song, it makes me feel a flush of emotions, I feel a wave of excitement, to happiness, it’s a beautiful feeling and this song calls out to me as if it were written for me, I genuinely don’t get how to explain it, but, Jon Foreman, thank you…
Patrick from La Paz, BoliviaThis song is actually about when you first accept Jesus Christ as your savior, awakening in the dark times.
Steve from Winnipeg, MbBest one on the album for sure.
Julie from Taylor, TxThis song means so much more than you probably think it does. Read the actually lyrics and find out the meaning. One of the most beautiful songs ever.
Simon from Chattanooga , TnListen closely to the introduction; doesn't it sound as though John is singing from underwater?
Kiran from Shelton, CtAmazing song. my youth group introduced me to it when me and my girlfriend broke up. The video has an amazing feel like the song.
