The lyrics are inspired by The Odyssey. One of the main themes of the Odyssey is Odysseus' love for his wife and longing to return to his family. the song recounts all of the adventures and hardships he endured while stranded at sea for a decade following the Trojan War, and adds that it was only his love for his wife that gave him the strength to persevere through each one.
It's a beautiful song, and shares a lot of similarity with Symphony X's The Oddyssey (their take on the epic poem).
