I don't see how this song remotely sounds like Christian Rock.

This song is arguably about Paul and Jesus, it's true, but it is most certainly not a traditional Christian viewpoint.

Yeah. I know how you feel. With all the idiots in the far past, the near past, even yesterday using it for excuses war, their own religion or whatever. It can be a major turn off for almost everybody. Remember this... that's man's influence there. I've learned a long time ago to try and ignore that. Use your own mind to make decisions.

Is Paul Simon aware that somebody stole his voice and lyrics?...

Or is it just me talking about myself in the fourth person again?

I'm inclined to agree, too. Although I really like all their first four albums.

TTWS's? Is that anything like ROUS's? haha

TTWS's sound strikes me as a cliche. The drumming in this song really hits me that way. It's not awful. Just sounds like an echo of 80s mainstream rock. A solid 3.

Paul is making me nervous
Paul is making me scared
Walk into this room and swaggers
Like he's God's own messenger
Change the name of my brother
Change the things that he said
Says that he speaks to him
But he never even knew the man
But I'd give my life for him

Like water through my hands
You'd give him any ending
But if he's all you say
Would he fly from heaven
To this world again
To this world again

Take whatever you're needing
Take whatever you can
We are broken from within
Run to another land

Water through my hands
Or is it just beginning
But if he's all you say
Would he fly from heaven
To this world again
To this world again

They took my brother
They ripped him from me
To twist his words as they did his body
Denied his family
Denied his beauty
To lay him down at the feet
Of those he couldn't save
Couldn't save, couldn't save

Will it be the end
Or is he still ascending
But if he's all you say
Would he fly from heaven
To this world again, to this world again
