Lyric discussion by qgroessl 

This song brings me to tears or near tears every single time I hear it. In my town a guy named Nate saved one of his buddies and tried to save another one when they're boat capsized in rough water in the harbor. One of them survived with frostbite, the other died of hypothermia and other complications. Nate's body wasn't found. I know this song is about inner strength. But I always think about him when I hear this song because he helped his buddies get to safety and lost his own life in the process.
