This piece is technically another religious piece (i know, i know...), although it can be interpreted without that aspect. It's about freedom, and that feeling where you're so close you can taste it but you just can't reach it yet. It's about slowly letting go of the (in this case divine) hand you've been clinging to, and taking those steps out finally. But it can also be seen as taking the hand of the divine, asking for help through the final stretch. And both of these things can coexist.
In a way, it reminds me of taking training wheels off of a bike...
the song is unrelated its just what i was listening to while drawing this
