@tgwdoughboy I have always respected Grammatrain because they are open and honest about who they are. I really respect Pete for having the courage to tell people where he was and where he is now.
@VonHellblazer So, that just shows little understanding of Christian music, I even hate labeling it that way because it leads to this kind of crap (especially on the "church" side.) There are plenty of bands in the history of the Christian side that didn't say Jesus or preach to you but spoke their heart. Bands like Rez spoke plenty of social issues, or look at Circle of Dust/Argyle Park for example.
@Rynyn There is nothing about this song that alludes to praising God or Jesus or hinting at any sort of Christian doctrine and theology. I regard it as a song originally performed by a band that was Christian at some point but not being Christian music in of itself.
@Rynyn I think if this was a song performed by a band that never was labeled as a Christian band nobody would recognize the lyrics as having some sort of Christian meaning. Since this song lives on in 2009 by a band that is now secular I don't think it's appropriate to label it as Christian music especially since you wouldn't be able to tell one way or the other had you not previously known the band was Christian.
@VonHellblazer This song was put out in 1995. Regardless of how Pete Stewart and Grammatrain feel now doesn't retroactively change this song, the way it was marketed, who they played concerts with, and where it was (and still is) sold.

Umm, not Christian music. Pete Stewart left the faith and the band reformed not as a Christian band.

I remember the first time I heard this song about 15 years ago. Sounds even more amazing live in 2009.
