I found it unexpectedly moving, this old song about Messianic hopes that never came true. People were expecting a Messiah, King David 2.0; what they got was the Christ. Having one's hopes upended isn't always a bad thing. "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him" (1 Cor. 2:9).
