Lyric discussion by GrizzlyGuy 

For me it sounds very post-apocalyptic, the whole song is littered with biblical references and the juxtaposition in lines like “I saw sunlight on the water, Saw a bird fall like a hammer from the sky” and “Saw a car crash in the country Where the prayers run like weeds along the road”, give an impression of a catastrophe, albeit one where there is still beauty in the world. Either way a truly beautiful song.

I agree...

I saw kindness and an angel Crying, "Take me back home, take me back home"

This line seems like a reference to the rapture.
