This song is obviously about hardships, and wanting to overcome them. I feel that this song is a very religiously-oriented song, not only with the "and my forehead is still bleeding... " part, but with the chorus. Throughout hardships in life, many people tend to turn to God (or whichever diety they worship) and ask he/she/it where they have gone. To me this song is about finding your faith in the hard times ("well i finally found what i'm looking for / though the road's still long and the light's still far") but knowing that you still have a long way to go until things are better, and maybe you do need that faith in your life to get through.
