This song is beautiful-harmonies, lyrics, etc. It is obviously about 9/11, but it can apply to more than just that. The overlapping lyrics signify that we let all the little things bother us, but nobody is seeing the big picture. Using 9/11 as an example: in the days/months after, all that we could think about was going to war, and retaliating, and kicking someone else's butt. But we are missing the picture: look at how evil humanity has become. Look at the destruction. There's a hole at ground zero, but there's also a "hole in the world." Lack of peace. Basically they're saying we will never get anywhere by hating anyone.
"But all this fighting over who will be anointed, oh how can people be so blind" =all we want to do is fight, fight, fight. We are missing the Big picture.
