I believe this song to be about King George VI and the fact that he stammers with his speech. Lionel Logue was his adviser, or speech therapist, and knew that this would be no ordinary task. They went through many days together, practicing and working on clearing up the stammer.
"Never felt so close to you before" relates to the fact that Lionel was no more than a commoner and that George was royalty. Even though there was a huge status gap, they were good friends, especially around the time of King George VI's war speech.
"Long shot in the name of God" says that Lionel knew that there was a small chance of this working and needed a lot of effort. He knew that this would be difficult and it was a very long shot-- that he would be able to help the King in time for his War speeches, inauguration speech, etc.
"I'll have someone to get it done" relates to the fact that Lionel was adamant about King George VI getting help and, that if he wouldn't be able to do so, he would have someone get the job done.
In all, this is about the relationship between Lionel and the King of England. For this to make more sense, I recommend that research is preformed upon this, and that the film "The Kings Speech" is seen.
