I have always loved this song because in a humble understated way it lets us know in no uncertain terms that if we are not trying to see how we can be part of the solution, then we are part of the problem.
Sometimes the problems of the world can be so great; like children starving in Africa in great numbers, millions of people around the world, homeless and living on the line of starvation, the abuse of children and other helpless individuals and people driven to suicide because they are not accepted by society, that we want to try to pretend that they don't exist and ignore the pain, but this is what we must never do.
In many cases, perhaps most cases, we are powerless there is little we can phisically do, but we can always offer our emotional support, our compassion, even if not in person.
Personally I have suffered much pain in my life as I suspect many of us have, and there are times when I am grateful for the pain because through this pain I derive the depth of my compassion.
As people have stated this is a call to arms and reminds us that the fate of humanity is in all our hands.
