In my opinion, it interprets the book of Exodus, as Moses. Since the opposition was ordered to kill every young boy, the mother knew she couldn’t hide her baby anymore, so she hid her baby away in a basket, and floated it down the Nile in hopes that someone would find Moses and adopt him. I know the lyrics say the Jordan river, but it all seems too familiar. Just my interpretation, though. :)
