This song is an absolutely beautiful one about death, and how we cope with it. It suggests that even when we feel miserable and hopeless, confused or frustrated, we should never lose sight of the grand scheme of things, and always remember to give and appreciate everything we have.
The first verse speaks to the impossibility of trying to express our feelings in difficult situations. We can speak volumes, but never really let out how we truly feel. But if we truly want to express ourselves honestly, all we need to do is let ourselves go, stop trying to use words and use our bodies - our arms, eyes, hearts - instead.
The second verse describes how insignificant we are in the grand scheme of things, and that instead of being selfish, greedy, or having high expectations of the world, we should be thankful and spend our time giving back.
The third verse sort of complements the second, in that it talks about how even when things look most hopeless, we will "always see the sun".
The last line of the song, "May our hearts sing an honest sing", is almost a prayer. Here's to hoping that our hearts will always be true, and if we follow them, that they will never lead us astray.
