This Is All I Ask Lyrics

This is a beutiful song but I am not sure why "when you shoot at bad men shoot at me" is in this song. The only thing I can think of is that when it was written kids used to play cops and robbers and maybe the person singing it wants to go back to childhood. I hope it's that simple in light of what's going on in our world.
