It sounds like people looking for hope. They go seeking for some hope, to allow them to proceed in life. These people pretend to understand 'higher' things to bring purpose in their life, such as the afterlife, like heaven, or a source of eternal love- the eternal light, that others will never know. They cling onto the notion that they are eternal and serve a higher purpose to give them meaning, like children to an eternal father, or sheep for the shepherd. I believe this song is about the lure of hope that religion uses to snare many 'sheep' with promises of love, purpose, and security. They sing aloud praises to this figure of eternal love, basking in bliss, yet blind to the reality, that many others have their own versions of gods.
