To be honest, I think it is probably a religious song judging by Brandon's religious theme that runs throughout this whole album, and by the choir that comes in the song, sounding like a church choir, but I think this is one that can be read quite secularly and that anyone can relate to it. There are no explicit references to God or praying or religious allusions--everyone has moments of reflection and remorse in their lives, everyone finds themselves begging on their knees at some point in their lives, so it can be almost about any crisis in your life really.
Possibly my fave on the album, because it's more open-ended lyrically than the others, and because of the obvious U2 influence on it.
