"Everything we hold could someday slip away" is a line that reminds me of our short lives on this earth. It seems that the person singing the song is seeing this too. And they are filled with hope and sorrow because when they feel like love comes to an end, they are also aware that someday they will walk with the one they love on streets of gold.
It is hard to have hope and sorrow together. I was given this song by a Christian guy I have a crush on, and even though I interpret the song to be about losing a loved one to death - it also can be about just loss. But even amidst feelings of loss, I have feelings of hope that the greatest love of all - the love of Christ - will fill us together as we someday walk on the streets of gold in heaven.
