Plain and simple: this song is from the perspective of a parent offering their child or children guidance based on their wisdom. It may have some basis from Brandon's mother, but as a father he is likely speaking in song to them.
And I agree with the prior comment. Battle Born at first seemed like a disappointment. The more I listen to the songs found there, the more cohesive in theme they have, and lyrically they are very strong. It takes time to truly appreciate this body of work. May they carry on with another offering soon....
