The protagonist of the song is saying that we should never say that something is impossible or that we can't do it, because that's not true. He gives examples of things like a baby growing or a river flowing that people may have said couldn't happen, but they did. He says that we only have doubts in our minds, and those doubts grow into fear and arrogance. He realizes that he is both the enemy and the ally, and that his own ambition and desire for wealth and power are causing these negative feelings. He criticizes himself for being selfish and only thinking about himself. He talks about how divisions of race and class in society make us feel better but aren't really living. He talks about how technology and distractions like TV and awards make us feel important, but deep down we still feel empty. He questions if there is another way to live without feeling this way, but realizes that maybe this is just how it is. He thinks the world is perfect and beautiful, but our own ignorance is the only thing that is wrong. He talks about how men and women have different powers but are still equal. He says that we can't create wealth, only destroy ourselves. He talks about how deceptive the world is and how we live lives with no meaning. He urges us to keep dreaming, not just for more money but for a better vision of the world. He mentions two people named Jimmy and Bob who made an album together, and how their dream came true. He ends by saying that dreams are only dreams when we dream together and that we should never stop dreaming.
