The protagonist in this song is talking about different events and situations that are happening in the world. They mention the leaves flying in the sky, the winter not feeling cold in Bethlehem, and the busy afternoons full of people who don't know what to do. The protagonist wishes they had a time machine to go back and see everything for themselves. They also mention birds flying on a strange night and how shepherds and stars are in a line. They say that tonight a king is being born and some people already believe it, but others don't care. Each person has their own view of the world and their own religion. However, there is something in the air that is not right and ignorance is causing more damage than what will come in the future. They mention planes flying over Berlin and bombs changing destiny. The protagonist thinks that these events seem crazy and like they belong to a distant past, but they are still happening, maybe even worse than before. Each person has their own view of the world and lives their own life. There is something in the air that is not right and ignorance is causing more damage than the bombs that will explode tomorrow. The protagonist finishes the song by saying that ignorance causes more damage than the poison that a city breathes. They mention that the day smells good and the night smells like mint. They lit a candle that hasn't gone out, and although they want to change the world, they know they can't. They will continue to write songs and dream.
