I always thought that it was romanticizing the coming of the Messiah
or something like that. The nature of poetry (or, if you will,
"poetry") is that it can be interpreted in more than one way. Of
course, during the 1960s, a lot of lefties did interpret the song as
romanticizing revolution.

what, exactly, did she propose? (Open Borders seems unlikely to be
achieved, but her program might be. It'd be good to know what it is
ahead of time.)
