Seems to me like he is talking about the difficulties of marriage and being a father. Then he chimes in about how it seems like only superman/someone who is perfect can really succeed. The only reference to jesus that I notice is the "raise the boat, raise the dead" Since jesus saved the disciples from a storm at sea, and raised Lazarus from the dead. So more or less, it seems to me like a call to God to help him be a better man.
To be a better man. With Christian allusions. But Sufjan isn't married and isn't a father. He also has never publicly dated a girl or anything. So I'm guessing "dreamt the lake, took my boy". Was a reference to a boyfriend.
