I can't believe I'm the first to comment. Well the song seems to be what the movie revolves around, which is forgiveness and redemption.
These streets are old
They shine with the things I've known
And breaks through the trees
Their sparkling
Your world
Is nothing more
Than all
The tiny things
You've left behind
This is refering to the fact that everything changes in life accept for what you do not allow to change
the Gran Torino his house these never change he is a prisoner to the Gran Torino and his way of life. He cherishes the car and it is the only thing that he has that gives him joy. Despite the atrocities of war and the things he confesses the Gran Torino is what keeps him sane almost and happy. When he confesses he no longer needs the car or anything he is at peace and he knows even if he is gone what he had done or had "the Gran Torino" will live on and be his legacy, a good memory or an accomplishment.
