A song I’ve been singing a lot

I know that Michael Franti’s song One Step Closer to You is probably about a love for a woman.  In true Haifz fasion, though, I tend to think of most love songs as being about spiritual love for our divine friend.  It’s in this light that this song rings so precious:

I’ve been down for far too long
‘Til my faith was nearly gone
I never knew somebody just like you
Could be a friend I could call my own

‘Til I let go of a broken heart
I let go to an open heart
I let go of my broken dreams
I let go to the mystery
And I believe in the miracles
I believe in the spiritual
I believe in the one above
I believe in the one I love

And take one step closer to you

I have not been particularly down, recently, but we can always move closer to our spiritual roots, so no matter where I am, this song strikes deep.  Go ahead, take a listen.
