This song has always been a favourite of mine. I've always seen it as simply an effort to make things in the world, or just in ones own life, better. An effort so weak, as the one person is just a number, and doesn't seem to be enough to make a strong change.
"So the story's told beyond our grasp
We were climbing on forever, an infinite task
Shoulders straining with the endless toil
We're nothing more than a feather moving in the wind"
This is about constant struggle, when whatever one is trying to accomplish is seemingly out of reach, maybe even impossible to obtain.
"Oh, and all these seeds will grow anyway
Even though the outcome we cannot say"
This means things will go as they will, we cannot fully control results.
And ofcourse theres other obvious lines in the song which hold my theory(or opinion) up.
All in all, a beautiful song. Possibly Sunny Day's best.
