   The knocking on the door is the message of non-violence that people, like Martin Luther, preach. The door represents your mind and the knocking is asking you to have an open mind. Notice that he does not refer to Martin Luther as Reverend. The religious aspect is ignored, possibly because religious ideology has been a reason for some violence in the world.

    I think it is a drug song, and the singer is too stoned to get up and answer the door. The gentle way the song be-bops along suggests downers, or perhaps some strong weed...
