A generally ignored and overlooked track on 'Flowers In The Dirt ' which came on my iPod earlier today. I love it and always have done.
Considering how much folk go on about George incorporating God lyrics into his songs and how it annoys them, why don't they pick up on this Paul song which could be very easily interpreted (if its not meant to be) as a song about faith in God helping to make it thru?

Isn't it just another love song for Linda, though? I mean, you could interpret it as gospel, but then he's used references to god in other songs as well even though he always says he doesn't actually believe in a god or a deity, but more in the goodness of the universe or something. Most celebrities who have even the most basic belief in a (christian) god, don't try to deny it. I can see why it's confusing though. On one hand, he references a deity in some of his songs, only to go on record stating it doesn't mean anything and that he isn't religious.
Whichever it is, it's a great song. I love it.

Offline What gets me is that by using the term "Heavenly Father" its much more open to a religious connection than most Paul tracks. I'd agree that its more a song to and for Linda who will also be the individual in the song.
I just find it interesting that George is the one who gets beaten for it yet there is there this from Paul. Maybe some of George did rub off on Paul.
