So sad to know he's gone. Great song!

Didn't realize till I saw these lyrics that I understood what it meant, basically saying that it doesn't matter what your tamultous past may have been. The past is the past and don't dwell on it - which is probably why he says the "don't have to live like a refugee" part - I think.
