The meaning is quite obvious. It's about how we're killing Planet Earth with our selfish actions.
"Don't they know that there's something going on?
What they're harming with their indecision..."
Don't the politicians see the signs? Don't they know that their indecision to take measures against consumerism, deflorestation, pollution etc. is harming the planet?
"And it's too easy to turn a blind eye to the light
And it's too easy to bow your head and pray"
It's too easy to turn a blind eye to the obvious, to what we don't want to see and admit. It's easy to submit to the will of the politicians and just pray to god instead, as if he wouldn't let the planet get past the point of no return.
"But there are some times when you should try to find your voice
And this is one voice that you must find today"
You must find the strength to speak up and make your voice heard, for the sake of the planet, you and me.
"Are you hoping for a miracle?
As the ice caps melt away..."
The "ice caps" bit is what completely gives away the point of the song, although the song is still obvious without it.
