I completely agree with nerdy scarlett: the song is about how God is always there for us.
He's given us freedom of choice as a gift, and the world has made it its mission to offer us countless numbers of choices, millions of alternatives that aren't Him. As a result, when we're weighed down and drowning, we feel ourselves breaking, thinking that we have to struggle through alone, that if we don't, we're weak and there's something wrong with us. But he wants us to know he's always there--that there's nothing wrong with us not being able to bear the burden, because we never could to begin with.

That's why he sent his Son, after all. :)
