This song is about everything that was happening in the world then. everything from the end of WWII,through the cold war, the spring of 1968 revolutions, the USSR war in Afghanistan, the Kosovo and Bosnia conflicts, the fall of communism, and the fall of the berlin wall, and the US on the brink of war in the gulf war. the world had gone through hell for almost 50 years, and it seemed like it may finally be over, and the song is about listening to the winds of change, and hoping that they are a good one. sadly, we know now that more wars, and massacre was to follow.
