This song is an invitation to make up, to reconcile, extended to a friend with whom the songwriter has fallen into conflict.
The verses are pretty self-explanatory, they describe how the songwriter feels about the conflict, that it is useless, damaging, and is getting them nowhere.
She then explains what has happened to her, "I thought about it, I prayed about it, out loud." She has been considering the conflict. The verses tell us her thoughts. As for the result of the prayer, the invitation then comes, "We can talk about it, we can pray about it, out loud." She is inviting her friend to talk, to make up, to pray together.
There is no promise of any result, and no demand for any particular outcome. She makes herself vulnerable in the invitation, she can be rebuffed, told to forget it, insulted, or belittled, but she makes the offer.
