This is a great song! I think this song is Alice talking about his faith life. This was around the point in his life when, as Alice says, he was feeling a 'spiritual hunger.' In this song I think he's praying, but his words are not his own, they're stolen. He takes the words (Bible) and tries them on, and one size fits all, but he's afraid because he doesn't know what this world has in for him, because it's not his words, he's praying a stolen prayer.
