I believe this song is about a philosophical journey. His eyes open wide due to the astonishment of the starts because he is filled with philosophical wonder. He is wondering where his home is because you must leave a comfort zone in order to think philosophically and you cannot dwell forever in that realm due to sanity. The child reference is then dealing with the idea that children are filled with wonder. Also the avalon comment could have something to do with the fact that the world of philosophy is like heaven or the search to be in a paradise so to speak. It took me awhile but I'm pretty sure that this is what the song means.
