According to The Motions Songfacts this song is about complacency and a desire to move on from a stale faith. It was inspired by a June 2007 column that West wrote for CCM Magazine and some vocal fold surgery that he went through.

The lyrics are inspirational and the style is amazing. Not too much or too little. Just the right amount of pop.

This song is absolutely incredible. I remember hearing it for the first time, and I've loved it ever since. It will occasionally pop into my head in moments where I'm going through the motions... I love it!

This is a powerful song. Let us examine ourselves that we don't just go through the motions of "chistianity". Let it be a one on one relationship with our Lord and Creator. Passion

I'm going through the motions right now. It's really hard not knowing what God's will is for me and my life. I hope that I will be able to know what His will is for me.
