There is a definate reference to Isaiah, a book in the bible:
"For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring: And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses."
God in Isaiah 44:3-4
And the part about "And streams will flow from the dust of
Your bruised and broken soul" refers to something Jesus said:
“If you are thirsty, come to me and drink!
Have faith in me, and you will have life-giving water flowing from deep inside you, just as the Scriptures say.”
Jesus in John 7:37-38
The song is honest, heartfelt, struggling with problems, identity and sin (doing things wrong) deepening towards the end:
"Oh look down and see the tears I've cried
The lives I've lived
The deaths I've died
You died them too
And all for me"
Like he's saying: God take a look at me, the problems I'm facing, how many times I died in the process... and then realizing God was there all along with him. Helping him, carrying him. But above all dying out of love for him on the cross, for his sins. "you died them too... and all for me!" And you say:
"I have come in order that you might have life—life in all its fullness." (john 10:10)
So there you have it:life in all its fullness, growth, healing of brokenness. :)

I think it's definitely a prayer to God because Daniel is an outspoken Christian. He openly shares his faith during concerts and occasionally in his songs. (source: http://www.answers.com/topic/daniel-bedingfield?cat=entertainment)
