To me the song is encouraging patience and stoicism. Pretty much, things happen, and we'll do the few things we can about it, but that doesn't mean it is fate, or some big design, or inevitable. Bad things aren't necessarily a punishment. Life is full of change and all we can do is hold onto our hopes and plod on. And the less we fight with each other, and nature, the fewer things there are to be our enemies.
