Please explain song in BOTB

Every time I read that song 'Peace, my son, etc,', I never get it. What is the point? Even the song itself does not make a whole lot of sense. Can anyone tell me at least its significance?

I think it might be a prophecy.

True Narnia fans were glad Andrew Adamson had the guts to make a 1.5 hour movie 2.5 hours!

and yea its a prophesy, with just a tinge of irony every time its said.

Yes, but what prophecy? It doesn't sound like one. Another thing, Galadriel 2, I like that little thing that says: True Narnia fans booed and threw popcorn when Susan kissed Caspian. I didn't throw popcorn, but I was pretty disappointed in it, and quite a few other things in the movie.

I think that it's talking about the renewal of Kirthanin, Laura, although I could be wrong.

I always just thought it was a lullaby to kinda tie all the chars together.
As for Susan...I though it well explained why she "turned her back on Narnia" - like, if she couldn't love Caspian, there was no point. I cried.

Thank you.

And Traveler, I think that since it wasn't in the books, it was silly to put it in the movie, besides it being wrong to kiss before marriage. I don't like the whole part about Susan not believing in Narnia, anyways, and as much as I love Narnia (I don't know how many times I've read them, but at least ten), I've always hated that part in The Last Battle.

Well...if you are going to discuss this, you should probably move to the Assembly, because it would be considered spamming in this part...
