this might be wrong but i've always thought of it as needing a 'hint' from God to know that 'we're on the right track' and that he really exists 'before we get tired' i.e. lose faith and give up?
I think the first stanza might be referring to all the people who have lost faith and turn to other things 'which allow them to sleep well' and the 'wrong path' is all the wrong places we look for hope or some way to get by...? I'm not an ardent Christian or anything but it's just what the lyrics suggest
