I think this song is about his relationship with God. The first verse talks about "found you at the water" which could signify a baptism. "At first you were my father/ but now I love you like a brother" could mean that he acknowledged the existence of God, but then something happened that truly brought him close to God. The choruses could be God talking to him, telling him to look more closely at the beauty of life and the world, and that even if things look bad there can still be good within them.
