Lyric discussion by Watcher2 

I think this song has several levels of meaning, but mostly, it's an expression of spiritual responsibility - an acknowledgment of the fact that only you can reach enlightenment. This song and this album connect us in ways that are truly awesome, in the archaic sense of the word. The Muse, through the artist, a gift for us.

@Watcher2 You are probably on the right track in a way, though this song may be directed at a few people in his life besides just Patti, like Eric for example who he was friends way before he met Patti. Of course it may not be personal at all, it's hard to tell with George whether or not he's trying to send a message to one person or many people. I think, just my opinion, that it's about having to account for our decisions in life when our life ends, we reap what we sow.
