A lot of his lesser known songs are just as good ( sometimes better ) than his popular ones. People need to delve a bit deeper than just the " Greatest Hits " albums ......
Yes it`s a clever song actually, it doesn`t really make any conclusive statement - it just poses the question ( perhaps THE biggest question of all ) and then leaves the listener to decide for themselves.........
Thanks Magda - Although this song has been available for a while I have never read anyones thoughts on it - maybe we will get more comments - i hope so ...
Thanks Nicole - it proves that there are many sides to Gilberts character - one minute he writes " ooh wakka doo wakka day " and then he comes out with something as profound as this !
Faith is believing in God even though things on Earth are not always good. God allows good and evil to happen. Evil rules the world. We don't know why He runs it this way. We also need Faith to believe that there is something much better after this life. If you need to have proof of this, then you don't have strong Faith. This is my reaction to this song. It is not a judgment against anyone.
Thanks Brian . It`s certainly a thought provoking song this one. I don`t think it`s either for or against religion, it just sums up how many people feel - they WANT to believe but sometimes have doubts when the see some of the things happening around them. I tried to use images that best reflected the theme of the song.

That's exactly what I liked so much about Gilbert O'Sullivan; he could write real pop songs, but also songs with so much meaning in them.

yes i agree with you - and it`s interesting that this the second song where he apparently refers to his mothers death, and yet she is still alive !
