"We are not forgotten, for a kingdom is offered beyond that of golden streets.
We can represent now what will one day be complete."
i think this is talking about how we are supposed to go spread the gospel so that others will be able to walk the golden streets of heaven.... and we can be a good witness for those who do not believe (hence "we can represent now that will one day be complete")
"Simplicity is not a curse where strength is humbled
and the powerless rise (and the powerless rise).
This is a kingdom born upside-down.
This is a kingdom where the broken are crowned"
ok there are soo many references where Jesus basically says that you must humble yourself!!!! He says you must have the faith of a child, He says how it is hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven (because of their money they usually dont think they need God for anything) and the reference that i normally think of first when listening to this song is "blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth"
"If helplessness is our system then we�re better off upside-down." this is saying how this world is broken... where the rich and powerful are exalted and the broken are cast down.... but one day this will be fixed.... im not saying that everyone who has money is evil but that many of them are not humble enough to ask God for forgiveness for their sins and if their sins are not forgiven then they will be excluded from Christ's kingdom

You dont think that it could possibly take on a more general sense rather than strictly and devoutly based on Christianity?
