Traveling Salesman Lyrics

This song seems to be about someone "selling" a religion/belief to someone. "A travelling man who fell from the skies" makes me think of either an angel or a prophet... and "selling some piece of mind.....Fills in the gaps" convinces me that this man brought a mindset, belief, or even an entire religion which he helped non-believers see "the distance between us and the sky" or what we need to do to get to heaven.
