This song is perhaps my favourite Cat Stevens tune. It is extremely spiritual. It doesn't matter what faith you hold to (I'm a Christian), this track reminds you that you are just a pilgrim in this physical world... you're just passing through the pain and hurt right now... a long way from your spiritual home... but one day you WILL return to your FATHER'S HOUSE where a ROOM awaits you (to paraphrase Jesus)... a place where your physical body will no longer plague you with aches and pains and sickness. THEN everything will make sense and be perfect, but in the meantime we're all simply MILES FROM NOWHERE.
