"Simple Song"

It's a simple song for simple feeling
You see the moon and watch it rise
Across the continent the night bird sings
And somewhere someone hears its cry

So disillusioned
Keep your head down
If you do they'll never know
You'll have no answers to their questions
And they will have to let you go

And disenfranchised
Revolution
They'll take away by right what's yours
And make you martyrs of your own cause
When they don't know what cause it's for

And all deserted
Stand alerted
They'll love you when you're all alone
But you find a red rose in the morning light
You wait the night and find it gone

So hear my words with faith and passion
For what I say to you is true
And when you find the one you might become
Remember part of me is you

I think this is a beautiful song, but I don't understand its lyrics. Can anyone explain to me how you would interpret Lyle's words?

I'm cynical about song writing, and I sometimes think that songwriters are simply trying to rhyme verses with little concern for real meaning.

And, listeners will read their own interpretations into words with a nice melody, just as they might imagine what whales are saying as they "talk to each other" in the ocean.

Some songwriters crank the stuff out like link sausage, and having exhausted their inspiration years before they're inclined to compile "ambiguous gibberish".
