The Holocaust was the systematic mass murder of European Jews and other groups by Nazi Germany between 1933-1945. Adolf Hitler rose to power in Germany and became dictator in 1933, at which point he began enacting anti-Semitic laws to persecute Jews. Eventually, concentration camps were established where prisoners were forced into hard labor and many were killed. The largest camp was Auschwitz, where over 1 million people were murdered. In total, approximately 11 million innocent people were killed in the Holocaust before Allied forces began liberating the camps in 1944-1945.

The song warns that if society tolerates fascism, then the children will be the next victims. It references shooting rabbits and fascists, and walking the streets of Barcelona but without real intent.

Once allies celebrated together forty years ago, but now tensions have risen. In Berlin, people anxiously await the end as shadows are cast by two giants competing for power, while in Washington DC politicians dismiss problems in Europe. Where the author comes from, Americans are disliked for being loud and out of touch compared to those with stiff upper lips. The world has changed significantly in the forty years since the end of World War II.
The document is a poem about American soldiers in the Vietnam War. It describes their experiences from basic training, to being sent overseas where they faced harsh conditions and danger, to the losses they endured. The soldiers felt disconnected from those at home, and they bonded closely with each other for survival as they fought in a war they did not fully understand.
The song describes walking along the Moskva River in Moscow and listening to the wind of change on an August night. It references soldiers passing by who are also listening to this wind of change and how the future is in the air as change blows everywhere. The wind of change is taking people to a magical moment where children can dream of tomorrow in this changing wind.
The song expresses hope that Russians love their children just as much as Americans do, and questions the growing hysteria and threats between the two countries. It notes that there is no such thing as a winnable war, and hopes that shared humanity between all people, regardless of ideology or country, can help avoid nuclear conflict.
