I agree with everyone on viewing people less fortunate as less than human, etc. and I think that's definitely one message in the song.
Additionally though, this song rings extremely true to me because some people (myself included) close themselves off and avoid letting people in out of fear of getting hurt and "losing the fight." I think he's saying that you can't go through life afraid to be vulnerable because eventually nobody will be there to hold hands with (figuratively and literally.)
