The lines:
Heaven if you sent us down
So we could build a playgroundFor the sinnersTo play as saintsYou'd be so proud of what we madeI hope you got some beds aroundCause' you're the only refuge nowFor every motherEvery childEvery brotherThat's caught in the crossfireThat's caught in the crossfireI'd trade my luck to knowWhy he's caught in the crossfireAnd I'm here wakin' upTo the sun and the sound of birdsSociety's anxiety
rhyme, but lines before and after do not. This song is about someone who wakes up and realizes that the world isn't so great. That the streets are filled with tyranny and that people turn against one another.
The beginning of the song says:
He'd trade his guns for love
But he's caught in the crossfire
And he keeps wakin' up
But it's not to the sound of birds
The tyranny
The violent streets
Deprived
Of all that we're blessed with
And we can't get enough, no
This brings the idea of giving up everything for love, but being betrayed by others. To me this song has a deeper meaning than just to be a brilliant piece of music. It was made to help persuade people to work on how we treat others and improve the way the the world works together.
