To me this song seems to be about the idea of heaven or a heaven-like place. He seems to be speaking directly to God in certain lines:
Your eyes they tie me down so hard/
I'll never learn to put up a guard
no matter how hard he tries God always knows and see's what he's done/his pain,
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
Even though he tries to seem holy and humble on Earth, God see's through him and knows his faults; basically he thinks he's weak and the only one who truly knows this is God.
In the chorus, the idea of heaven is more obvious to me:
We will run and scream
You will dance with me
They'll fulfill our dreams and we'll be free
And we will be who we are
And they'll heal our scars
Sadness will be far away
In heaven, all will be well, no sadness will exist, no pain, no worry, no woe, God and His angels (they) will make everything alright.
Now to me, this verse removes all doubt about the meaning of the song:
So as we walked through fields of green
Was the fairest sun I'd never seen
And I was broke I was on my knees
But you said yes as I said please
As they walked through heaven, everything was perfect (maybe when he was saved or came to term with God), I was broke and on my knees, I was broken, gave up, and praying, and even though he thinks he didn't deserve it God forgave him (said yes as I said please). Contrary to popular belief, I see no marriage references in this song, and solely interpret it as a song about God's grace and heaven (as we so often hear Marcus referring to.)
