Songfacts®:

  • This Christian rock ballad was inspired by the Rinehart brothers' father, a pastor who weathered some false accusations within his congregation. Lead singer Bear Rinehart told Music Faith: "There was some stuff that got said at our church that actually turned out to not be true when it all came out. I just thought it was a cool thing that my dad kept his integrity throughout that whole situation." >>
