Lyric discussion by padmewan 

FullDevilSoccer: The phrase is better known in its pseudo-Latin translation, "Non illegitimus carborundum." See alt-usage-english.org/excerpts/fxillegi.html, "The phrase seems to have originated with British army intelligence early in World War II. It was popularized when U.S. general Joseph W. "Vinegar Joe" Stilwell (1883-1946) adopted it as his motto. Various variant forms are in circulation."

@padmewan Yeah....Unfortunately the fundamentalists ("truth without love") have put too much pharis33ism into Christianity, especially in the states. So be easy on them, and I like the verse quoting with some good old KJV language in it. Philippians 3:8 has a quote-unquote "curse word" in it, and when you show the fundamentalists that information, they freak out. But we're called to be gentle with each other. .. Back to the song... I love this song.. Day One to Day Now....it has always been a favorite.
