My parents were baby boomers so they remember the "martin, john, and bobby". Of course they don't remember abraham (lol). I think the meaning is pretty clear - rememberance of people who made history and were assignated. The last part of Bobby alking up over the hill, with Abraham Martin and John, always makes me tear up. I just imagine the three of them waiting, and then Bobby Kennedy comes to join them, and they all turn with our backs to us walk into the light in the distance. There's some really good slideshows to this song on youtube. It's a time period us gen x kids will never know. But we can sure learn from our parents.
