Hanson Lyrics

On the new Hanson CD, there is a song called "The Great Divide"...

I have a question about one of the lyrics. Every time I play it for someone, they are like "wow, that is really cool"... however, I still dont understand this one line that apprently everyone else just loves. I posted the lyrics below, and bolded the line I do not understand the significance of. Please, comment back with your interpretations.

Oh, and below the lyrics is youtube video with the song... if you want to listen to it, lol.

Thee earth is shaking under siege
And every breath will meet its fate
Still we hunger for a moment of freedom
Even though the hour is late

I find hope and it gives me rest
I find hope in a beating chest
I find hope in what eyes don't see
I find hope in your hate for me
Have no fear when the waters rise
We can conquer this great divide

When every eye is on the fortune
It can only breed contempt
They say blood is thicker than oceans
Still we box our brothers in


I find hope and it gives me rest
I find hope in a beating chest
I find hope in what eyes don't see
I find hope in your hate for me
Have no fear when the waters rise
We can conquer this great divide

Whoa, ooo, ooo, ooo
Whoa, ooo, ooo, ooo
Whoa, ooo, ooo, ooo
And we're gone
And we're gone
And we're holding on

And we're holding on
And we're holding on

I find hope and it gives me rest
I find hope in a beating chest
I find hope in what eyes don't see
I find hope in your hate for me
Have no fear
Have no fear when the waters rise
We can conquer this great divide

Whoa, ooo, ooo, ooo
Whoa, ooo, ooo, ooo
Whoa, ooo, ooo, ooo
