I think this is a song of hope. The song can easily come off as Dave singing about his beliefs from a superficial perspective, but I think hope and the idea of there being something bigger than you, your problems, society, and the world. There is the promise that there is a bright future that will get brighter. I like the song and see deeper meaning in it, but I've seen it criticized as being sappy, proselytizing, and formulaic. I disagree, but everyone has the right to their opinion. I particularly like the line "life can be wicked, mean, and cruel. The song has a nice way of juxtaposing negatives with positives.
I love the bassline.
