This one seems pretty clear to me. The author is upset at the bigotry surrounding her. "All that I want" is to scream out why "we can't just separate our minds". Sarah wants to know why we can't respect other people's views/values. Sarah is also questioning why people are willing to fight/die for others to be more like themselves (Islamic terror connection?). She's suggesting that if we were to learn tolerance for alternate viewpoints then we could call this world "Paradise". And because of our acceptance of alternate views "we can call it what we want", but its what I'd call "Paradise".
My favorite line is: "It should be in then out and not the other way around" appears in this song as completely irrelevant argument for doing something in a prescribed manner.
"I found God". "It wasn't what you thought it was". "It's just as empty as the core". These lines appear (to me) to be a conversation between two religious men and an atheist. The religious man "found God". The second man tells the first man "you are wrong" and the nihilistic atheist tells them "you are both wrong". Its a pointless argument because we'll never beyond a shadow of doubt know which if any of these viewpoints is right or wrong.
