Resurrection Song?
[Updated: 2/2/2009: My hope is that Resurrection Songs will be a regular feature at ...& following, at least for the time we're discussing N. T. Wright's book. It's a way to think around the topic without trying to think through the topic. There's no disputing the power of music and--for those of us who grew up in the rock-and-roll generation--songs (even popular songs) are the way we engage poetry. If you know of any Resurrection Songs, leave a comment or send me an email. I'll do my best to feature the song on the site. At the end of our study, I'm hoping we'll have quite a selection of Resurrection Songs. rjjf]
I know this song was used as an “anthem” for the Obama campaign. So what! I still like it. 
And the question I ask is, “What does it mean?” With a bit of lyrical engineering, you could make it mean something higher (if it doesn’t already). What do you think?
