The world moves on a woman's hips seems to me to be about the earth's path around the sun and the sun's gravitational pull. The world does in fact swivel and bump along its path around the sun, and it bounces and hops. The "she" in this song is nature, or perhaps it can be interpreted as the universe itself. Let me paraphrase:
Nature is describing herself
Nature has messages for us
Nature is acts according to its own law (remote control)
The hands that guide nature are invisible
The world of light is nature, and nature is going to open our eyes up
In the first verse "the world" seems to mean the truth lying within nature. Her truth is out of reach, some of us reach that truth, but we can't hold on.
The end line "she has got to move the world", I think is a reference to the forces of nature moving the world along.
