His name isn't in the credits on 'UP' but some of these lyrics to
"walk unafraid' are interesting..I'm not posting the whole song but here
are some tidbits...

''but somewhere there I lost my way
everyone walks the same
expecting me to step
the narrow path they've laid''

and in another verse:

say "keep within the boundaries if you want to play'
andy 'contradiction only makes it harder'
how can I be
what I want to be?
Whe all I want to do is strip away
the stilled constraints
and crush this charade
shred this sad masquerade
I don't need no persuading
I'll trip, fall, pick myself up and
walk unafraid.

        
Wonder if the 'influence' is maybe his sharing his struggle to be a rock
star and a Christian...or hearing the different voices telling him what
a good Christian should or should not do..and other voices telling him
how to be a successful rock muscian?? This is pure speculation on my
part but the words just seemed to speak of the struggles he had in the
past but as usual I may reading way to much into this. I also heard
that Patti Smith was an influence on this as well...whatever. It's a
good song no matter what his input.
