I cant believe nobody else has posted on this song I love it so much. About 1/2 or 1/3 of the way into the song is a SINGLE stanza celebrating war in all of it's false glory and the ENTIRE rest of the song is a disillusioned soldier's desperation to get out and return to the life he had and the woman he loves. Plus that line about how beautiful landscapes and countless living things are destroyed forever in the name of money for right now. This song is about 50% love song, 35% anti-war, 15% conservation (by my estimates at least; somebody else could absolutely come up with a different ratio). Amazing.

No, I think clearly it is 52% love song, 38% anti-war, and 10% conservation... just kidding... great comment. I agree totally.
