My thoughts on this song were probably influenced by the cool album artwork. An old man and a boy gaze into some type of jewel probably looking at their fortune.
The song also waivers between optimism and pessimism. That's kind of how my mind works.
Optimism:
We're part of the fire that is burning
And from the ashes we can build another day
Pessimism:
But I'm frightened for your children
And the life that we are living is in vain
And the sunshine we've been waiting for
Will turn to rain.
