I wrote this song in 2008 when I noticed how people were placing all their paternal faith and christ-like authority in Obama, disempowering their own autonomy. It took a few years before the composition was fully adapted to the band. It is not a political song, inspite of its appearance, but rather a call for all to preside over one's self.
