A beautiful song with the integration of biblical and historic storytelling and interpretation. The narrator may be talking to a former lover. Or, he may be a disenchanted lone wolf singing to the human spirit (do what I can for you), as it exists today, and how it manifests itself in today's religion (charisma), politics (footsteps/enemies), and culture (vanity/misery).
"There is nothing impossible when I'm with you and when you're with me
I got a sad sinking feeling, that that could never be"
This is about a loving spirit, like Lennon saying "give peace a chance", but "wisdom is fickle, and chance is God's retort", so it ain't likely to happen.

Love the poetic flow of this song!
