I see this song as a fun homage to life as love and the universe as our playground.
As the child first awakens into his life he discovers that we seem to be adrift (Heaven won't you answer me and why) but also that we seem to be in a sea of misunderstanding (wickedness).
In the face of life's seeming injustice, the protagonist decides to stand for love for as long as it takes for this wickedness to awaken and subside (ring the bell til someone listens).
He devotes his life to virtue (his gold, for wisdom and grace) and is clearly not afraid of using wickedness when needed (their wicked wit and when I use it). But he will do so only to fight wickendness itself (dashing the hopes of haters).
Along the way he proclaims his true nature: Union with the eternal and divine itself (melt your words and smile into my skin) and (through your veins my river flows). And also his devotion to love itself (From the mountains I will sing to you).
In the end he returns to the beach ball theme, asserting Love's victory over wickedness and restoring the rightful place of life as love and the world as a playground.
