I agree, echo369. Mr. Maker has it made--a beautiful wife, kids, money, etc. He realizes that the world around him doesn't have what he has been blessed with. In the chorus, he justifies the decision not to give to charities and help the world around him because he has given himself to his family already.
"But oh no, it's alright
Mr. Maker, he'll be fine
It's all right, it's OK
Because of the love he gave away"
But it says "if he was alone he'd give it all away". I personally took this to mean that he is selfless, and would give away his money if he did not have a family to support.

Very, very catchy song.
