all religion is is just believing in something to make you fear death less. what he's saying in the song is that death is just a natural part of life, and while it sucks that everything living has to die, it's also a good thing because it creates new opportunities for younger, brighter, stronger things.
he's saying he just wants to be like all the great people who came before him, live up to their expectations and make them proud so when he's old he can be happy with his life, and have his children want to do the same thing he did. that's the best thing to believe in, not some religion.
this part says it best
Just like our mothers
Who gave us our homes
We'll be just like our fathers
And go out on our own
'Cause we are the colors
In all that you see
We'll be just like our brothers
And take to the streets
