I didn't really understand the translations I read, so these lyrics diverge quite a bit from the song's original meaning.
When writing this, I think I was inspired by the church summer camp I just got back from. The last night of a retreat is always filled with prayer (just like the title of this song, ha ha...) that is often passionate and tearful. My emotions got rocked that night while praying for my brother, and I think these lyrics were influenced by the reflections that came out of that camp experience.

Save me from breaking down
La la la...
It's been too long since the last time that we talked like this
And there's the strangest feeling in me that I can't dismiss
Come sit with me here and speak with me while we're here
I have things I need to make clear
My tea grows cold as raindrops land upon the windowpane
My heart grows heavy as I look in your familiar face
The words are forming so please do not ignore me
This could be the end it could be
Stand by me and pray for me
Try to find the words to save a soul from dying
La la la...
Cry for me and I'm sorry
It's not fair for me to put you through my sorrow
There's no other way that I could show
It's not easy asking you for help
It's not easy crying to myself
I need a friend
Someone to hold me when I'm scared and lonely
Could you be the one to hold my hand?
Could you be the one to understand?
Things in my heart you need to know
Look into my eyes maybe you will finally see
The pain I've hidden, all those secret years of misery
If you could feel it, if I could just reveal it
We could do this faster and easier
The thing is, no one promises that life is always kind
And sometimes we are people shocked by horrors that we find
It could be near us or buried deep within us
Da da da...
Stand by me and pray for me
Try to find the words to save a soul from dying
La la la...
Cry for me and I'm sorry
It's not fair for me to put you through my sorrow
There's no other way that I could show
It's not easy asking you for help
It's not easy crying to myself
I need a friend
Someone to hold me when I'm scared and lonely
Could you be the one to hold my hand?
Could you be the one to understand?
Things in my heart you need to know
Here before you, my heart's breaking
Listen to the sound
Turn back time if only I knew how
Take me to that place where healing can
Wrap me in a wave of love again
Can I believe that there is hope to bring me out of misery
Is there love that casts out all my fear?
Can I speak to you with words sincere?
These are the things I need to know
Save me from breaking down
La la la...
