I think its just about, well, being fearless. doing what you want without worry. i think this song is pretty literal as far as Pink Floyd goes. someone is reprimanding someone else for doing a task that seems too hard. they would "like to see them try" in the sarcastic sense. the other person responds saying that theyll do, just name when and wait for the right day. then, when the time comes, they accomplish the task and look back on all those who said they couldn't do it.
next, someone deemed an idiot faces a large crowd, without fear. some high power is displeased, probably because they wanted the idiot to fail. really, the powerful figure is the fool. do whatever works best for you and you can accomplish anything, and everyday is the right day to do it (callback to the first stanza.) all you have to do is rise above the fear of doing it. when you look back, you will see that most people were rooting for you the whole way (fade to a cheering crowd)
Very underrated song
