I've always felt this song is about one's struggle with faith. As he usually does, Bruce uses biblical references to get his point across, but it could be applied to faith in anything. The narrator aspires to one day prove true faith, and draws inspiration from the Bible's Leah, whose faith in God and love for Jacob never ceased, even though she was always second-rate in Jacob's eyes. It really is one of the most bittersweet stories from the Bible, and is paid tribute in this song.
