ORIGINAL MORON EXPLANATION
I heard you on the wireless back in '52 I heard You on the boombox before '82 1982 is about when I started to listen to Christian rock music
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you Lying awake intent on writing songs to You
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through I wasn't young when moron was brand new moron didn't get started until the late 1990s (age almost 30)

Rewritten by machine and new technology I used an ADAT which is old technology
And now I understand the problems you can see I still have problems that I know that You can see confession of sin and of lousy singing (guitar playing, etc)
