The only treasure, though, is a stone inscribed with “Peace on earth”; ironically, the valley-people, a metaphor for mankind, destroyed this treasure whilst in the pursuit of it. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus which is a common arrangement technique used to engrain a song in the listener’s memory."

Now that is a blue hippie message if I ever saw one.
Look to the external links provided in this link of course.

It's a hippie era song that's for sure. I associated Eric with the "valley people" mentality. Eric does not represent "Peace on Earth" or the beliefs of the "mountain people" anymore than myself.
