"Looking back you know you had to bring me through

All that I was so afraid of

And though I questioned the sky, now I see why

Had to walk the rocks to see the mountain-view

Looking back, I see the lead of Love."
-"Lead of Love", Caedmon's Call

Picture, if you will, a dam. Now, there are some holes in the dam. There is a person in front of the dam trying to stop up all the holes...blocking the tremendous force of water that it is holding back. The dam is cracking...the person can't keep up with all the holes. What happens next?

I know it is the lead of love...it just doesn't make sense.
