And here's what our Bruce says in an interview:
Well, You have to go back to a poem called "Jerusalem," by a guy called William Blake. Jerusalem is about building a place of inspiration spiritual, divine, whatever you want to call it, inspiration inside of every single person. Thats what "Jerusalem" is. "Jerusalem" is also a personal vision that Blake had, of England as a spiritual pagan sanctuary. A place in which poetry was sacred and greed and things like that, as it were, banished by the force of divine inspiration, which just illuminated everybody. Aand everybody was working towards that end of just understanding creation, that was he vision and that was what he tried to put into his poetry and so that is what I tried to put into the song "Jerusalem," because that is what the poem is about.
