he senses a lot of potential in people, a lot of hope, a lot of capacity to love in every human on Earth but nevertheless it is sleeping, it isn't yet awakened. I look at the floor and I see it need sweeping 'I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping This is the song how I interpret it, and interpreting it from a spiritual point of view: The Hare Krishna movement as well as some other Hindu elements were a big influence for George's writing.
George was the one Beatle that brought the spirituality (not RELIGION, but spirituality) to the group, being a Hare Krishna devotee (and bhakti- bhakti meaning devotion- yogi) for a great part of his life.
This is an elegy, a lament, for the decadence of the world and society in general. I do not think George meant for this to be a love song, at all. Ok firstly, I do not agree with any of the comments above.
It is beautiful, you all should check it out. General CommentI hadn't actually paid any attention to this song until santana's cover with yo-yo ma and india arie.
