This song is laughable. No one can 'fix' another person. People often get married thinking they can fix the other person, or go to counseling hoping their spouse will be fixed. This attitude is often the cause of divorce. You can ask any psychologist. Everyone is broken and in need of improvement. We are born in sin and live sinful lives. Only through Jesus' death and resurrection are we saved and made whole.
The singers of this song re implying they are perfect and better than everyone else. This is a condition of human arrogance. We all like to think better of ourselves. We all like to put on a brave face for the public despite our lives are in shambles. Even Jesus talked about this.
Matthew 7:3-5: "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
Luke 6:41-42: "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
We each need to address the issues we have first before we can help others with their own issues.
