I like to hear this as a love song (romantic love) but of course its original use in film (1985's WHITE NIGHTS) is intended to describe the platonic love between two close friends I think that this song is about:
The POWER OF LOVE (whether it be romantic or platonic), that can be so STRONG.
LIGHT OVER DARK
What i love is that light over dark theme that recurs:
the power of love is the light that ALWAYS overcomes
the dark of doubt, the uncertainty caused by those who lie or masquerade and even the shadow of loneliness
As for the Chorus, i agree with Tambre 2: I think it is about ADVOCATING to the power of love, we need to actually each and one of us, SAY WE LOVE in order to change things, to clear away all the darkness and replace it with LOVE.
I remember watching this movie in awe, at a time when the Cold War still defined who we were as a world, divided into camps, afraid to let go of old fears, old hatreds, old ways of thinking there could only be one way to go. The Olympics in Sochi Russia have ended, with reminder that in 1980, winter games were not attended by Western athletes, for political reasons that no longer apply. Wars still are fought, people still die, but East and West, North and South are struggling to come together, with hope for better futures for us all....

The promise of White Knights to love naturally is coming to be.
