Wrat's definition is pretty solid, but I still feel that that is oversimplifying a bit.
The overall message is the success that can be achieved when you take that leap of faith and venture out of your comfort zone. However, parts of the song clearly portray a definitive contrast between the narrator and the hypothetical people still stuck on the land. It is therefore plausible that the artist is making a comparison between themselves, who have stuck their neck out, and people who have preferred to remain safe and sound within their own domain, but miss out on many experiences. Of course it could just a comparison between an infinite number of groups or individuals, but I still think it's a comparison nevertheless.
Oh, and my favourite part of the song is the capricorn :P
