The song refers to the difference between church/state verses real spirituality. Religion and the state have hierarchies of power that try to control your perceptions of reality. True spirituality has to be tought at home by parents who actually have personal relationships with god. The war being talked about is a symbolic description of the church/state battling the population into submission instead of allowing us to have one on one communication with the lord. But the future generation, if taught well, will overthrow the shackles of the church/state regimes. All due to a grass roots movement lead by spiritual wariors, our sons and daughters. He refers to the lord as the high command and he is with the high command as if there is a spiritual hierarchy above that does not approve of mans current church/state control of the population. And this song, with its undeniable beauty, is his message to us. Thank you Mike & Mechanics.
