No Picture Daron Average	#1 by Daron Malakian at Sep 26, 2007 at 1:08 AM EST
	it does seem like a very christian song, I listened to this song when i felt exactly like that, I cried, lol.... but c'mon phoenix, there's no need for the whole "Retarded" comment

No Picture drw Average	#2 by drw drw at Sep 26, 2007 at 9:38 AM EST
	No doubt the best song on tha album but where is waiting for yesterday? thats also a great song

No Picture AJ Wanna Be	#3 by AJ Harrison at Sep 28, 2007 at 2:51 PM EST
	"by SeanCallan on 02-09-2005 @ 05:45:45 PM I didn't looking for religious meaning in this song, I never do. I felt the song is him calling out to a friend/girlfriend, someone who had been there and was no longer. Hes telling them he needs them to go on, its a cry for help. But I do see where you could find 'God' in the lyrics. " Well, seeing as 12 Stones are a CHRISTIAN band, there is going to be some religious meanings in this song. "if I could hear your voice I know I would be okay I know that I've been wrong but I'm begging you to stay won't you stay?" The narrator is asking God for a his voice, a direction in his life, something to life his spirits up. Begging 'him' to stay as in keep [the narrator's] faith stong and the chorus is just explaining his need for faith, again for guidance and strength. "I wish that I could turn back time just to have one more chance to be the man I need to be I pray you'll understand" The narrator needs his faith to face the demons of his past and confront them in the present day, and he can only do this with 'him' to make things right again...... ....just read/listen to the lyrics/song and you will see 12 Stones touch of faith here. I mean come on, they are a christian band. If you don't know that by now, you are retarded.

No Picture AJ Wanna Be	#4 by AJ Harrison at Oct 1, 2007 at 2:38 PM EST
	A few of those lines are incorrect, for instance it should be : I need your hand to help me through these times again

No Picture Trent Average	#5 by Trent Zelasney at Oct 4, 2007 at 6:17 AM EST
	The best song on the new album in my opinion: Its about a person who hasn't totally got there faith in God down yet, and they are just wanting to make sure that he will still be there for them even though they have done some bad stuff in they're life. He is calling out for help. Great song!

	Lol, I found this as a music vid to Cloud & Aeris moments in FF7 Advent Children... this song kicks ass... Unfortunately I know nothing about it practically and can't find a good explanation T_T 1
