I think, if you listen to it closely enough, maybe it's about a relationship with God? In her first paragraph or whatever, maybe she's singing from the perspective of God and Jesus. For example, "I will be the answer at the end of the line. I will be there for you while you take the time. In the burning of uncertainty, I will be your solid ground. I will hold the balance if you can't look down."

And maybe when she says "Cast me gently into morning, for the night has been unkind. Take me to a place so holy, that I can wash this from my mind... The memory of choosing not to fight." She's praying to him to give her a sense of peace, or to help her through hard times. Don't know if that's correct, But that's the great thing about music. It has different meanings for everyone.

She's an atheist, so it's not about any deity.
