First off, amiantos, it is a sad thing when a child dies but covering the fact that it happens up like some dirty secret will only make it hurt worse.
This song, to me, is about transition. At first he is singing about feeling desperately alone, and pleading for a miracle. But then, he realizes "it's a miracle ust to be breathing" and his outlook begins to change. He realizes that God's identity isn't all that important, and that he's thankful for what he's been given instead of wanting more. He also discovers how much he loves his significant other, because their singing fills him with the same awe as his thoughts of the mysterious creator. He reveres them in an almost religious way. And, finally, he wants to settle down and have a family, and that's the only rigid lines of belief he needs. Now he's ready to look for ghosts again, but instead of it being a desperate grasp at fulfilment, it's an optimism "that we live on, may we live on, in our song, our hummable song."
