This is definitely the story of Abraham and Isaac from the Bible.
Isaac are you listening
I watched it from afar
I watched as the clouds began to part
[ The lyric "I watched it from afar" tells us that it is neither Isaac, nor his father who is singing, but rather someone witnessing from afar]
Issac can you see my now
I've known you all my life
And I worship the ground you walk upon
[ The lyric "I've known you all my life" tells us that the singer is either the same age as Isaac, or younger. It could be a younger sibling, or a friend/admirer ]
Isaac will you never learn
That a father's love must be earned
Or your mother need not learn
How to love you
[ He is telling Isaac that he has to do this to earn his father's love, but his mother never needs to "learn" how to love him, she just does. ]
