I think the song is trying to say that the real war is going on within our borders, our homes, and our hearts. Think about it. We have border wars, violent crime, poverty, child abuse, extreme divorce rates, domestic violence, and families being broken up. The war isn't out there - it is within our own homes.
I agree this is song is about what people are going through here in our homes. I think that the first section has to deal with military men coming back from war with post traumatic stress disorder.
I think the second section has to do with the fight with breast cancer and the third section has to do with child abuse in any form.

I think both of you have hit the nail on the head! I came to this site looking for interpretations of this song, and I'm so glad I did! Thanks to you two, I think I understand it better. :)

Questions: What do you make of "One step forward, two steps back" & "we're all going down?" Those two phrases still stump me a bit. I suppose the first could just be speaking to the fact that people/organizations/etc. work hard at solving these issues only to be held back by bureaucracy and/or red tape. (Maybe?) I guess the second phrase could just mean "we're all in the same boat," so to speak. Thoughts?
