What's this song about?

1
They say the skies of Lebanon are burning
2
Those mighty cedars bleedin' in the heat
3
They're showing pictures on the television
4
Women and children dying in the street
5
And we're still at it in our own place
6
Still tryin' to reach the future through the past
7
Still tryin' to carve tomorrow from a tombstone...
8
But Hey! Don't listen to me! This wasn't meant to be no sad song.
9
We've heard too much of that before
10
Right now I only want to be here with you Till the morning dew comes falling And I wanna take you to the island Trace your footprints in the sand
11
And in the evening when the sun goes down We'll make love to the sound of the ocean
12
They're raising banners over by the markets
13
Whitewashing slogans on the shipyard walls
14
Witchdoctors praying for a mighty showdown No way our holy flag is gonna' fall
15
Up here we sacrifice our children To feed the worn-out dreams of yesterday And teach them dying will lead us into glory...
16
But Hey! Don't listen to me! cause' this wasn't meant to be no sad song.
17
I've sung too much of that before
18
Right now I only want to be here with you Till the morning dew comes falling I wanna take you to the island And trace your footprints in the sand
19
And in the evening when there's no one around We'll make love to the sound of the ocean
20
Now I know us plain folks don't see all the story
21
And I know this peace and love's just copping out
22
And I guess these young boys dying in the ditches Is just what being free is all about
23
And how this twisted wreckage down on main street Will bring us all together in the end
24
And we'll go marching down the road to freedom... Freedom... Freedom
