Interpretations:I Hear A New World

From This Might Be A Wiki

I haven't thought about this extensively, but I see there isn't an interpretations page for this song yet and I'd like to throw something out there.

I think this song is, on the surface, about someone who has been disgnosed with a terminal illness and is aware that their time is limited. "How can I tell them what's in store for me?" is fairly straight-forward: if you know you're going to die, what do you tell loved ones? "I hear a new world calling me" refers, I guess, to the feeling of death growing ever closer, and possibly the afterlife theory.

It's difficult to summarize the message of this song, though. Thoughts?

To me, this song seems to be about Jesus. Call me religious, since I am, but still, you can't deny the fact that this song at least sounds like it has to do with Jesus. "How can I tell them what's in store for me?" How can I tell my followers that I'm going to die? "I hear a new world" Heaven.
