I especially love the last part: too far to go, to young to know: give up. Youthful idealism doesn't realize what a hard, punishing journey it's getting itself into with its change the world mentality, and is being told to give up... hmmm... but yeah, the whole celebration of all the diverse aspects of human life in the beginning is just beautiful. I wonder why, after all that, it ends with 'give up?' Maybe a commentary/exhortation: why, with life being so beautiful and diverse and amazing, do so many people still feel the need to say "give up." Maybe this song is to remind all those who argue for giving up that there is so much else, just day to day stuff, to live for. And I love the piano/harmonica at the very start, too.
