What's this song about?

1
I remember you back in 1992
2
When they were putting us down
3
Trying to tramp us into the ground
4
You exploded like a flame in the night
5
With a righteous indignation
6
Told us "everything gonna be alright"
7
Change come slowly like the ocean
8
But it keep on comin' nonetheless
9
Take my hand, oh dear companion
10
We may not find happiness
11
But peace and then some real contentment
12
And a measure of social justice
13
Oh change come slowly like the ocean
14
But they can't stop the tide
15
And they're never ever goin' to stop us
16
They've got the bullets and the guns
17
And the propaganda machine
18
All we ever had was an impossible dream
19
You stood tall as steel in the flaming night
20
Said "let us have no fear
21
The victors will be those who can the most endure
22
Sally came to me with flames in her eyes
23
And her long hair blowin' in the breeze
24
She said "dry up your tears, boy, we've been down too long
25
It's time we were up off our knees"
26
Oh the stars in the heavens are blazin' tonight
27
The moon she is glidin' on high
28
And the drum roll of liberty beats in my heart
29
As the warm winds of change blow by
30
Don't ask me to be a slave anymore
31
I couldn't be if I tried
32
For the pipes scream an anthem of hope in my heart
33
As the warm winds of change blow by
34
She moved like a ghost through the enemy lines
35
But her laugh was defiant and clear
36
She kissed me hard on the mouth and said "goodbye
37
I'll love you forever, my dear"
