Boston: Higher Power Meaning
Higher Power Lyrics
Take me home to your religion for the night
Let me touch you
Teach me how to see your vision through my eyes
Turn the pages
Tell my story, let me face another day
Safe embraces, I feel it comin' now
My captain's on his...

It's about belonging to the fellowship of AA which is Alcoholics Anonymous. It even includes the Serenity Prayer in the lyrics.
"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
The courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference"
It is our Mantra - our most common prayer that we end each AA meeting with.....yes, I am an alcoholic in recovery...

Generally, any person who has been through addiction rehab, is encouraged to follow the "twelve steps" to recovery. One of these steps includes the surrender of oneself, to a "higher power" or to "God, as we understand him". That is what this song is about.

I might be wrong! but i think that the guy is singing to God because he says "my higher power" "come and save me lord don't let me cross the line" Or "I feel it comin' now My captain's on his way" i think this guy reads the bible and of course believe in it! In the bible (gospel)Jesus christ said he was gonna come back one day !! The singer says "let my love you" think the guy wants to come near God and know him!! ( the First requirement to be christian is to show love to God in FIRST PLACE and to your brother also) God bless!!
