This song is about a man who is on a walk with his child. They get into a deep yet child-like conversation about God. (thanks, Dana - Manassas, VA)
This was the only hit for Dishwalla, and it came at a time when "Alternative" music was big, with bands like Collective Soul and Stone Temple Pilots dominating the airwaves.

I first heard this song in the movie Eight Days a Week (which I only watched because it had Keri Russell in it).

the song is a briliant double-perspective. it is sort of about a child's questioning of God, but it also references a question the guy asks the girl " Tell me all your thougts on God, cause im on my way to see her". He basically worships the girl.
