I think a lot of people are reading too much into this - organized religion or war or whatever.
I think it's a lot more basic than that, though. If you want to live your life, have relationships, love other people, well it's inevitable that you will just end up weeping for your trouble at some point.
Everything ends sooner or later - relationships go sour, children grow up, friends lose touch, loved ones die, and then so do you.
"I won't be weeping long"
So I guess it's okay to weep, to mourn, but you have to stop eventually and live your life too, or you'll miss all the good bits in between the sad bits?
I dunno. I don't think this song is "depressing" just a... pleasant melancholy. :)
