This song is less about the unfortunate and more about society. As a society, espically here in America, we live in our own little paradises and ignore the real problems. The real problems are not your kid not getting the playstation 2 they wanted, the real problems are hunger in third world countries. Refugees who have no place to go and no one that is really willing to help them. This song is about how we neglect our fellow man for our own materalistic wants and desires. There are men, woman, and children who wake up everyday in a pile of their own filth and drink from cantaminated rivers. But those same people thank God that their alive and that their not dead. Another thing I think it brings attention to is our unwillingness to help those in need. In minnesota (though I understand why) the public is complaining about brining hmong refugees over from camps in thialand. Why? don't those people deserve to live the exact American dream we live? anyway, I'll shut up know.
