When Delta Spirit formed they didn't have a lead vocalist. The guy that eventually became the lead singer was a man the band met while he was singing on the street for money. At the time, he was living in a 2 bedroom apartment with 5 people. I think this is his song. It's pretty self explanatory once you know the story behind the band, but I'll lay it out anyway:
"brothers hold the line til we got something
this world is way too small to feel like nothing"
I think he's talking to his bandmates here, encouraging their musical pursuits.
But these two lines really are great and can apply to anyone in anything they're after.
"I was found near the train tracks looking so homeless at you
You came like a copper
You said 'son it's time to move'"
Pretty straightforward: the band saw him and picked him up and gave him an opportunity.
"My love is comin, I can barely hardly wait around"
I think his love is his audience, or maybe his opportunity to play for a solid audience.
and then
"I've finally found the cure for my own cancer"
His music is what he's been struggling for to put meaning to his life.
This is what I believe he was thinking when he wrote this song. But I think it's a great song that can be interpreted to fit the circumstances of any person struggling to chase a dream. Great song. Great Band.
