To me it sounds like someone important in his life died. And the beginning sounds if he smoked and drank himself to death.
Hence the reason he maybe saying "what a shame". Almost as if the man lead a good life but that was his only curse.
What a shame
What a shame
To judge a life that you can't change
The choir sings
Church bells ring
So won't you give this man his wings
That part sounds as if he's saying he couldn't do anything to help him. and asking god to forgive the man for his sins and allow him to enter into heaven.
Amazing song...
