Not with Haste Lyrics

A few things:

The song is similar to "Attics of my Life" from the Grateful Dead in its redemption theme.

Compare these lyrics to First Corinthians 13.

"Though I may speak some tongue of old Or even spit out some holy word I have no strength from which to speak When you sit me down and see I'm weak"

"If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing."

I see the "They" in "They'll fulfill our dreams" as Children.
