I think it's a song that says don't dread on the past. You can try to fix the past all you want, but you'll forget about the present. What Roger is wishing for is inspiration, the people in Lebanon to be happy, and for his dad to have never died at Anzio. But in the process, of dreading on the past too much, he failed to take action on the failing marriage with his second wife. His road leads onto glory, but he's missing something. The love of his wife. At least Roger is close with his son Harry, who just finished touring with his dad, and his daughter India, who tagged along on the tour, he at least is still close to them.
