Dance Me to the End of Love Lyrics

Lyric discussion by nursejen 

Cover art for Dance Me to the End of Love lyrics by Leonard Cohen

This is by far the most romantic song I've ever known.
I love every line of this song, but a few stand out: "Dance me to the children who are asking to be born"--my knees go weak over that one. Or: "Raise a tent of shelter now though every thread is torn" suggesting they have few posessions but their love is enough to sustain them.
I fantasize about re-marrying my husband just so that this can be our (second) wedding song!

@nursejen can you explain what it mean with dance me to the children who are asking to be born? Thanks.
