Cover art for Once Like You lyrics by Right Away, Great Captain!

This song kinda confuses me.. it seems like he switches up who he's talking to.

First stanza, maybe talking to God? Maybe even talking to Anna? Second stanza is probably Anna because he says "our children." Third stanza again, it could go either way. But then the last stanza is most likely talking to God... "I was a father once like you," "your plan," "causing ... men's death."

Any ideas?
