The music sets up a back-and-forth with the lyrics on a couple levels. The lyrical emphasis on blessing and the final line "let your crooked hands be holy" (when juxtaposed with the childhood imagery) seem to describe the purity of innocence. And the tinkling sounds throughout would seem to agree with this.
Ultimately this song is about loving and remembering the beauty that our innocence gave us. Who is to say it is something we've lost?
