Blues Traveler = Messenger from God?

Man, this is just a great song.

"Just Wait"
Music & Lyrics: John Popper

If ever you are feeling like you're tired
And all your uphill struggles leave you headed downhill
If you realize your wildest dreams can hurt you
And your appetite for pain has drinken its fill

I ask of you a very simple question
Did you think for one minute that you are alone
And is your suffering a privilege you share only
Or did you think that everybody else feels completely at home

Just wait
Just wait
Just wait
And it will come

If you think I've given up on you you're crazy
And if you think I don't love you well then you're just wrong
In time you just might take to feeling better
Time is the beauty of the road being long

I know that now you feel no consolation
But maybe if I told you and informed you out loud
I say this without fear of hesitation
I can honestly tell you that you make me proud

Just wait
Just wait
Just wait
And it will come

I hope for you and cannot stop at hoping
Until that smile has once again returned to your face
There's no such thing as a failure who keeps trying
Coasting to the bottom is the only disgrace

Just wait
Just wait
Just wait
And it will come

*(of course, "Margaritaville" comes on immediately after this on my "Laid Back Tunes" playlist so I can't claim to be totally deep all the time)

God talks to me through popular music all the time (altough I rarely mention it because the whole "God talks to me" thing can make people think you're, you know, 'teched' (as they used to say up home.) (rotates index finger near side of head, crosses eyes)
