This one's tricky. It's my favorite song of Dave Barnes's and it annoys me that I don't understand it. I'd have to guess that the parents found out that their baby has cancer, praying to god (and saints) that thier child will survive. I'm not sure what "somewhere a saint is praying for you" has to do with it, but I think it just gives the act of prayer a more universal effect.
