"I'm your Messiah" / "He's your Messiah"

Almost every show review mentions this lyric change as a sign that Prince has changed as a person.

Watching the I Would Die 4 U video on the Purple Rain DVD, I was reminded that he's always sung that in concert over the last 20 years...

I don't know why people think it's a new thing. Even if he had just recently changed it from "I'm" to "He's" - the lyrics are originally in the third person.

The song has always been about Jesus nonetheless. Changing from first to third person doesn't necessarily change the person it's about. wink
