	it's clearly a worship song, being this a christian band. but by the analogy of God marrying the church (stemming from adam and eve - adam=God eve=all of humanity, get it? Satan tempted eve first, or all of humanity. eve fell, all of humanity fell. pure genius) so by carrying the marriage analogy, by showing our male love for women we bring god's love to the world. of course, as with all things, we need god an intricate part of such equation, but that's how it is. the song might have something to do with a girl, but no doubt (When in Doubt, get it? ahh, i kill myself sometimes) the lifting up of pain, trouble, the surrendering all is definately to God. Like "I'm Trading My Sorrows" a terrific song, though not by Thousand Foot Crutch.

	I Love Thousand Foot Krutch, Project 86, Blindside, and a whole bunch of other CHRISTIAN bands!!! KEEP ROCKING FOR THE LORD!!! i disagree about what hansdude84 said. I think that is a really stupid thing he said about most Christian bands not being overtly Christian. TFK- Lift it-"I lifit it, lifit it up to YOU" trevor(vocals) is stating that he's lifting all his troubles up to GOD, asking for his help. "I surrender all of me" Trevor is saying hes giving his all to The LORD ALLMIGHTY(a.k.a. JESUS, GOD, CHRIST) POD, Southtown "I thank GOD that i made it alive" POD Satellite "As I look up to the sky today, i can see you lookin' down on me!" (looking, as in seeing him, not looking down on him as if hes worhtless, ) Blindside-Pitiful "As they hammered those nails through your beutiful hands, Your eyes they tried to search for mine, but i look away, now Your eyes are the only thing that can save me" The love that Jesus has for each and every one of us can save us, is the only thing that can save us. all we have to do is let him. we just need to ask him. Later, same song, it says "I remember every word you said, And this time i wont look away!" Hes realized that he needs Jesus in his live, to be saved. Dogwood-Do or Die "When it came to do or die, you died for me, though i will be nothing perfect, for human eyes to see. my hands are yours for works, my eyes will seek 'till i find you" Jesus died a painful death on the cross for each individual human even though none of us are perfect, we're far from perfect, even in the eyes of other humans. 'My hands are your for works' He's giving thanks to Jesus for dying, so he's going to use his hands(his abilitys) for the Glory of God, to spread his word, to spread GODs Love for each individual. Those are just a few examples of Christian bands thatcontradict your statment. Project 86 has many, POD has TONS more examples, Dogwood has more, Five Iron Frenzy has lots, Few Left Standing, I havent heard much of them, but they have some really good, Christian songs, same as Living Sacrifice, Underoath has some really nice lyrics. If you want more, go to solidstaterecords.com check the bands, and look up the lyrics here, Solid State has a lot of bands with sweet lyrics. i disagree about the "not overtly Christian" Christian bands statement. And i think this song is not about a girl... unless you take the fact that its directed to Jesus, who was born from a girl(Mary), but thats the only way that i can see a connection...

	It is obvious that this one TFK's best work. They show how flexible their music can be. This is a great worship song, worshiping none other than God -- ( oone who we can lift our pain up too)

	Guys, the great thing about christian rock these days is that since the music isn't overtly christian, the music to many ppl can have many different meanings. Ie. pod, blindside and so on and so forth. I can see how this song could be about a girl, but i also so it could be about god, or christ and i can also see that this song could be about anybody that's helped you along your journey through life.

	He Belongs To God And Everything He Has And Ever Will Amount To Belings To God. (by savior rights lol)

	This Song Is Definately My Favorite Song Of All Time. It's Basically Talking About How God Has Helped Him Through Everything And It's God Who Made Him The Way He Is No Matter What Has Happened. He Is Lifting Praise To His Savior, To Let God See How Grateful he Is For Everything That Has Been Done In His Life Through The Grace Of God :) ~AML
