Content

The first two verses deal with the emotional harm insensitive people cause others, the third references those who try to keep religion out of public schools. "I believe that people have to have a belief in something," Nichols says, "whether it be God or whatever their religion. ... I think people get into a political war over simple words, and they miss the forest for the trees. ... The premise of the song is that we all need to believe in something -- in each other and, especially, God. It's just our opinion. We didn't mean to get too political or anything like that or make a podium out of the song. Some people aren't going to agree with us, but that's OK, too."[2]

Music video

The music video was directed by Trey Fanjoy and premiered in June 2004.
