to "rikdad"'s question about whether or not northern ireland was really that bad any time in the 20th cetury the answer is yes definately yes; there is no more to say to you. However while this song is written about Northern Ireland it can really apply to the problems of the world as a whole and how if people stopped and looked at them long and hard they would lose all hope. But since people do have inexplicable hope, there has to be some psycological reason, personified here by the invisible sun. A few people have metioned a religious fealing to the song, but I truthfully dont see that at all it seems more like a cynical but realist assessment of the world.
