It speaks to me of Neil conversing with one of his sons. I remember when I first heard it that I could see how I might want to sing this to any child I may have one day. I now have a son and I sing it to him every time I want to help him sleep.
"In time you'll recognise that love is larger than life". A sentiment you can't force on a child but they will learn. As a parent you look in awe at the open canvas that is a child's mind and wonder what will condition them to learn the truths of life. I think this is what Neil is addressing.
