There's a lot of different things this song could mean. Personally, I have no idea what it means, but I'll throw out some ideas.
Perhaps Rob is questioning the good attributes of light. By bringing light to the bag lady, he is allowing us to see the ugly state she is. Perhaps the bag lady is asking for god when she asks for a light.
I'm not too knowledgeable of St. Augustine's works, but I think he held strong beliefs in the new life that arises upon converting to Christianity. This relates to verse about the infant born with a handgun.
I'm not sure exactly how critical of St. Augustine's doctrine Rob actually is in this song. Enjoy it.
