i think the easiest way to understand this song is to look at it not from a religious stand point but solely a spiritual one, to me its about the struggles we as humans have every day here on earth and about one day "Now the water's rushing and you keep trying to swim against the stream
And it seems, like your not moving the many water's gushing you gasp for air
Almost drowning ears ringing, once upon a time we were singing" that quote to me is about falling into all the evils of this world and not being able to rise above it all
