First, I think these lyrics are pretty close, with the exception of "faith" in the chorus actually being "fate" (Amor Fati), "forget" should be "forgive", and "thoughts" should be "flaws". But who knows, this is a very busy song, I could be way off!
This song is beautiful and one of my favorites. To me, it's about embracing both the inevitability of your fate and also active role in creating it. Essentially, your fate is already laid out, but you are indeed making the choices that construct it as your life goes on.
"Don't try to fight, what's not your fault" is telling the listener, off the bat, to ignore everything that's out of your control because obsessing over it won't change anything.
"Let go, reach out, the choice is yours, to find" focuses your back on the actual choices laid out before you. Make this choice, or make that choice--it's up to you. "To find" is thrown in at the end to underscore the singer's belief that your choices are just as much about finding out what you're supposed to be doing as they are about what you think you should do based on your own volition.
"Inside you've got, the light to guide, your fate decides, the world you're going, to find" again touches on the dichotomy of having your fate laid out in front of you and your role in creating its circumstances. The "light to guide" can be thought of as either the mysterious force of "fate" guiding us with its magical power or our thought processes that lead us to the decisions we make--but regardless of how you view it, these two meanings are one and the same. And from our actions a new world is created.
"Relax, slow down, let hope, decide, even though he's hard to forgive, when you can't stop falling down, just know your flaws and know that, you'll be alright in time" is reassuring the listener to never stop hoping for the best even when nothing works out the way you want and you make seemingly terrible mistakes. "Know your flaws" (learn from your mistakes) and let time heal your wounds.
We have no idea what fate has in store for us. It leads us down unforeseen paths to different worlds. But we dohave control over certain aspects of it, and we should focus on those aspects rather than the others over which we have no control. And when we screw up, we should learn from it rather than getting down on ourselves.
