There are three men named Ananias in the book of Acts. One, along with his wife Sapphira, held back part of a gift to the church so his name became a synonym for liar. The second was the follower of Christ who lifted the scales from the apostle Paul's eyes. The third was a high priest opposed to the Christians. I always assumed the Ananias in the song was the second one and that the singer was the Apostle Paul asking the questions, but that is just my opinion. Google reveals that Ananias was also the Greek name of Shaddrack of firey furnace fame in the book of Daniel.
