Despite diminishing success in the United States as the decade progressed, the band remained very popular in Asia, mainly in countries like Japan, Thailand, and Singapore. FireHouse continued to release new material throughout the late 1990s and into the early 2000s, most of which has successfully charted in Japan. The band has also continued to tour internationally as of 2007, having participated twice in the annual Rock Never Stops Tour with other bands of the 1980s. FireHouse is estimated to have sold over 6 million albums worldwide since their debut.
In December 2004, FireHouse became the first major international rock band to play concert dates in northeast India.[7] The band's first Indian concert date was in Shillong, followed by two more dates in Dimapur, and Aizawl.[7] The band's first Indian date, in Shillong When the Maharaja of Tripura Kirit Pradyot Deb Burman invited them, took place in front of a sold out stadium crowd of over 40,000, setting a record for that city.[5] The band toured in 2005, 2006, and launched another tour in 2007 visiting states in the Midwest United States such as North Dakota and playing at several festivals including Rocklahoma.[8] In a March 2007 interview, when asked about the band's next album, guitarist Bill Leverty said "we plan on going into the studio this coming winter. Hopefully, weโll be able to get all the songs together and record them for a spring/summer release."[2] Regarding the future of the band, C.J. Snare commented that "this has been an incredible, incredible career. To do something that you love, to be an artist, to be an entertainer and to actually go out there and have fans all over the world and be able to make a living at it. As long as that's perpetuated, I donโt see any reason to ever stop."[5]
Band members
Originally composed of vocalist C.J. Snare, guitarist Bill Leverty, drummer Michael Foster, and bassist Perry Richardson, the band has maintained all of its original members with the exception of Richardson, who departed in 2000 due to conflict. Richardson was initially replaced by Bruce Waibel, but Waibel left in 2003 to spend more time with his family. Dario Seixas was brought on board to play bass on the band's 2003 album Prime Time, but he parted ways with the band shortly after the album was released. Current bassist Allen McKenzie was given the position in 2004.[3]
Guitarist Bill Leverty and C.J. Snare have both pursued solo careers, but neither have let their solo projects interfere with the band's studio and touring efforts. Leverty has released two solo albums; Wanderlust in 2004 and Southern Exposure in 2007, and when asked if he would ever tour in support of them, he said that it would be "extremely selfish" to do so while putting the band on hold.[9] Snare has commented in several interviews that he is working on a solo album, but such an album has yet to materialize.[5] Drummer Michael Foster has participated in Leverty's solo career by playing drums on both of his albums.

You Are My Religion
Firehouse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I couldn't believe in anything
Until I put my faith in you
Is it a sin, is it a crime?
To worship somebody all of the time?
Anytime, I would do anything for you
I've found my heaven, right here with you
Not just on Sunday, I love you everyday
And I fall to my knees
Every night I pray since
You've come and saved me
For all eternity
In the name of the Father and the Son
You are my religion
I wasn't looking for a miracle
Didn't think that love was possible
But your love has made me whole
And I pray that this will never end
You are my lover, my best friend
You took me in and saved my soul
I've found my heaven, right here with you
Believe in me, forever I believe in you
Not just on Sunday, I love you everyday
And I fall to my knees
Every night I pray since
You've come and saved me
For all eternity
In the name of the Father and the Son
You are my religion
Not just on Sunday, I love you everyday
And I fall to my knees
Every night I pray since
You've come and saved me
For all eternity
In the name of the Father and the Son
You are my religion
And forgive me for the things that I have done
In the name of the father and the Son
You are my religion
The lyrics to Firehouse's song You Are My Religion speak about the singer's loss of faith and belief in anything until they find someone to put their faith in. As the song progresses, the lyrics suggest that this person is their new religion, and they would do anything for them. The lyrics also suggest that the singer's life was incomplete before they met their lover and best friend, who saved their soul. There is a sense of surrender and submission in the lyrics where the singer falls to their knees, thanking their lover for saving them. The singer also asks forgiveness for their past wrongdoings in the name of the Father and the Son, who they seem to believe in once again.
On one level, the song appears to be a romantic tribute to a lover who has brought meaning and purpose back into the singer's life. On another level, it could also be interpreted as a song about the transformative power of love - how it can change someone's life, restore their faith and make them feel complete. It's an expression of deep gratitude and devotion to the person who has given them that power.
Overall, the song's message is about finding something or someone to believe in, and how that belief can change everything for the better. Whether the listener interprets that as a physical or metaphysical search is up to them.

I've lost my faith in everything
I don't believe in anything anymore
I couldn't believe in anything
I don't have trust in anything
Until I put my faith in you
Until I started to trust you
Is it a sin, is it a crime?
Is it wrong to love and cherish someone all the time?
To worship somebody all of the time?
To adore someone every single moment?
Anytime, I would do anything for you
I am ready to do anything for you anytime
I've found my heaven, right here with you
Being with you is like being in heaven for me
Believe in me, forever I believe in you
I trust you forever, and I hope you trust me back
Not just on Sunday, I love you everyday
My love for you is not limited to just one day, but every day
And I fall to my knees
I am grateful to have you and pray for you
Every night I pray since
I pray every night since you came into my life
You've come and saved me
You have rescued me and made me feel safe and loved
For all eternity
Forever and always
In the name of the Father and the Son
In the name of God and Jesus Christ
You are my religion
You are the belief system that makes my life meaningful
I wasn't looking for a miracle
I never thought I would find something as wonderful as this
Didn't think that love was possible
I didn't believe that love could exist for me
But your love has made me whole
Your love has completed me and made me a better person
And I pray that this will never end
I hope that our love will continue forever
You are my lover, my best friend
You are not only my romantic partner, but also my closest friend
You took me in and saved my soul
You have embraced me and revitalized my spirit
And forgive me for the things that I have done
I ask for your forgiveness for anything I may have done wrong
