well i don't think it's that hard to figure out...
i think it's about someone who had hopes and dreams (as it says,)
and they were giving up and the narrator of the song is trying to make the person have more faith in their dreams, and trying to tell the person that they do have a purpose and a chance.
and then again, maybe i'm too negative,
but this could easily be about suicide as well.
like, "when the water is pulling you in
look to the clear skies above"
water could be anything. society, peers, etc. the water is pulling the person in, and the narrator is just telling them to keep believing, and in the end it'll all be worth it.
(ex: believe me when i say,
believe me when i say it's worth it
stay awake)
and then there's "we'll reach out our arms
to try to find something to love
there's always something to love
you'll reach out your arms
and find something you love
i swear, i swear you'll find it"
telling the person that it's not the end, and if they think that nobody is there for them, they just need to ask for help and they'll find it.
