this song might be saying that there is alot of anger and rage in the world, but we, like the courageous "mother's restless son" in the song, must be brave to face all the worlds problems, the stresses, the misunderstandings that arise through the "crusher of language." The cool, cool river, the healing powers of the cool cool river were vital and magically, the river sweeps everything to the ocean. In the song, the river can be seen as the source of prayer, the spiritiual sustenance we need to sweep our angers away, and our hopes and dreams to the future towards heaven.
