^That sounds like a really friggin' awesome experience.
Anyway...
While the album itself (which is brilliant) is overtly political in some parts, I think it really touches on a more personal note at various moments, I think the final song itself is very much on that personal level.
Call me simplistic, but I think it's about the ultimate realization that in despite of all the riches and things we have in life, they ultimately mean nothing in the end...and life itself isn't worth living if we don't have people to love and love us in return.
In despite of the suffering of humanity, we've got love and it's really what makes life worth living, and if we would just have it for everybody regardless of our ethnic background, religion, orientation, heritage, or nationality then there wouldn't be all the bullshit conflict in the world.

Too bad that'll never happen.
