Knowing that "Good Old Desk" stood for God made the listener pay attention to what the actual lyrics are saying. "Its always there" is what immediately jumps out at me. God is always there for anyone. Religion is something anyone can fall back on when they are lost or confused making it very reliable. "Keeps my hopes alive" is another part of the song that stood out to me. God or any religion is not there to discourage, but it is there to motivate and give people the feeling that they can overcome certain obstacles. Finally, the phrase "I've never once heard it cry" to me represents just how strong religion is. God never gets frazzled or distressed no matter the situation. Therefore, God and religion is very stable and dependable. No matter what one is going through he or she can find comfort in religion.
