i agree with goody2sandals. the world we live in now is what they are talking about. we live greedy, selfish lives in which the only thing that matters for most are the material things that many men think compose they worth in this world. We have lost sight of the fact that we cannot take these material things with us when we leave this earth. We as humans need to take selfishness and turn it into selflessness. I think the beatitudes sum it up pretty well and are the message they are trying to convey in these lyrics...
"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blsed are they who mourn,
for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure of heart,
for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
