The song is about getting another chance. The darkness is his low point... Someone looking out for him may be God or another spiritual belief. Or perhaps, even a loved one who helped him see "the light".
Personally I think the song is about a drug addict hitting rock bottom and getting another chance at life and realizing he is lucky to be alive and grateful to have somebody/thing helping him see his wrongs.
