Great message about how we often fail to realize the experiences of others who we just blow aside and ignore. I think Phil is asking everyone to pause, take a step back, and put ourselves in the shoes of the target of our criticism, racism and hatred. We need to see both sides of the story before we judge.
On a side note, the line: "while small coffins are lined up sadly, now united in defeat" chillingly reminds me of 9/11 and how the country came together after such a defeat at the hands of terrorism. Obviosuly Phil wrote this song long before 9/11 but I thought I would just throw that out there.
