This is one of the most meaningful song someone could ever play and it is one of the best song because it is true (._\\\)

Obviously, if everyone was nice and caring and kind no one would ever die. It's songs like this that prove that Nickelback are some of the worst songwriters of our time. Just a bunch of generic junk about world peace. It's great that they're helping out Amnesty, but it doesn't make their lyrics meaningful.

the chorus of this song was stolen from kiss him good bye by steam, infact you can basically sing the chorus na na na hey hey hey good bye when the guy sings 'i'm alive', i think it was better when they were stealing thier own songs instead of others though

The lyrics are not related to religion as much as they are related to enjoying and appreciating your life and helping others to enjoy their lives as well..

So inspirational! It's sad to think that this can never happen, people are too greedy, but it's a beautiful thought.
"As we lie beneath the stars, we realize how small we are. If they could love like you and me, imagine what the world could be."
My favorite lines. :)

Maybe it's just me, but this song seems to be an excellent follow-up for Boston's "Higher Power".

This transcends all religion... I don't really believe that this can happen without Christ's help, but that's just me. It's certainly something to aim for, even if it can't go all the way!
