I see that this subject is nearly dead, but I still feel like I'd like to add a bit. I see that there isn't really any comments about the religious aspect (or at least spiritual) of the song. The last verse isn't married, but burried. The entire thing is saying what if we die and nothing happens. What if nothing is what we become? That is the question that stares us all in the face as we approach death, and to have faced it at such a young age, as Andrew did, and come away with this outlook, is wonderful. Truly inspiring song.
K2007 says it best. It's so powerful, you're not sure what to do with it.
