In my view, the purpose of this song is to encourage people to take action in spite of opposition
("You know what is holding you captive
Is in conflict with you perception")
and passivity of others ("Silence can never be divided").
If you succed, your action triggers change (e. g. change in society or anywhere else). That's how you become "the catalyst of action". And your belief and coviction are the only things that will help you to persevere.
("From this day on, may the torch inside always stay
