It was one of three songs he played on Saturday Night Live in October 1979.
The words
He holds to his belief even as friends turn away and treat him as a stranger.
The singer describes being shunned by friends and treated as an outsider because of his new faith. Each verse sets the rejection he faces against his determination to keep believing, whatever the cost. The tone is quiet and resolute rather than defiant, a private devotion spoken aloud. He played it on Saturday Night Live in October 1979 as one of three songs.
