The EXACT WORDS FROM Justin Hayward himself about this particular song:
“ There's a song called "New Horizons," which was at a really tough time in my life. I'd not long lost my father. There was quite a lot of death around me, and I was having to cope with that and work out how you handle that and what you do and how you can get through it. It's very poignant to me.”
That’s EXACTLY what Justin specifically stated about this song.
@Joe E Yes, correct. That is one of Justin's quotes on this song. (He made a similar statement about 'You Can Never Go Home' which is much more explicitly about his father and brother). However, 'New Horizons' is not just about his father, but also his new family, hence the 'I have love enough for 3' line and the 'New Horizons' from the title in the face of the 'Nightmare come true' (his father's death). I also derive this from statements he has made over the past few years and not my own interpretation.

@Joe E Here it is 2023 and I just read that quote from his interview. I love this sing. I just started playing this in my guitar today and can't stop. Here I am at 63, having played now for 50 years and loving this song for just as long, but just learning it today
