Inspiration Behind "You Went And Died And I Didn't Know"

I had a scene that played out in my mind of being Jesus' childhood lay mate who as a teenager had to leave the village with my family to go and live somewhere else and I had to leave Him. Years passed and I didn't know He was crucified, and this is what my song is all about."
