Lyric discussion by torgrim 

It's about being able to embrace personal differences in a relationship and love the other person despite whatever the problems you'd might have. Cohen is jewish by birth, but grew up in a liberal family and had influences from many different cultures, he now dabbles in Buddhism.

torgrim, I understand were you coming from. However, noone is born religious, noone. Some jews like to redefine the meaning of the word so that it bears no meaning at all, but that does not make it true. It would be more accurate to tell that Cohens parent were jewish (if they are), but he himself is a buddhist.

Great song by the way :)
