"Don't they know there's something they can do" + "are you hoping for a miracle" It's an appeal to change things. First, by becoming conscious of what's happening ---> "Don't they know there something going wrong" Then, by doing something. Praying is useless, it's passive. We must act "to be sure of tomorrow's tomorrow". And this sentence can be apply to any bad things (war, hungry, etc.). In one word, don't "turn a blind eye to the light", see what's happen and do something for the future of our planet ("I am balanced in yours hands" [album version]) AND by extension of humanity. =) That's what it means for me. (A big sorry if you don't understand what I've write, because I don't speak English =S)">
Love this song too (the clip too! Beautiful images!) It's about global warming ("ice caps melt away" + "who will be left standing when I'm (Earth) gone"), but not only. I think it's talking about the passivity and its negative consequences. ---> "Don't they know there's something they can do" + "are you hoping for a miracle" It's an appeal to change things.
