I agree with the interpretation above about crossing over. There is a strong theme of death and letting go, but in a rather positive and calm manner. As if the narrator wants this to happen and they have prepared for it. Yet I feel that the ending is more about the fact that they have seen such a glorious sight-the light, even though that they weren't quite ready to go towards it, the experience has made them reform and feel better about themself and their future- so that may catch a glimpse of the light again when it really is time to go. With this idea I'd liken the song lyrically to Kate Bush's 'Suspended In Gaffa'.
Also, I'm sure many have noticed this- through the distorted voices (all talking about seeing a light), Natasha and a male voice can be heard singing: 'I saw a light, I saw a light, no more dark (something-I haven't been able to catch it), no more dark nights. Praise the Lord, I saw a light!'.
