The song is about Africa...he is Somalian and so it's about the struggles in his Country. The song could easily be transfered to almost any country in Africa (my husband is from Zimbabwe and he really relates to the song).
I think the basis of the chorus is him saying: Someday, the country will be free, strong and better...and the "and then it goes back" meaning he either goes back to reality or the situation will go back to the same, which happens over and over in African countries.
The verses are just talking about the struggles of people living in African countries (for him, Somalia)
