I absolutely love this song. I've gone back and read the lyrics a lot of times, and hate to say it, but the first time I read/listened to the lyrics I did indeed think about a guy. That sucks, I feel like such a girl for that, I know! But ultimately I think that this song is about giving strength and belief to someone that you know is capable of doing so much more than imaginable, that just can't find what you see in themselves. Its about lending your faith to someone who's trying to prevail in a situation against all odds. Everyone and everything is telling them that 'no, you can't do this'. Every logical answer points in the direction of 'no'. And they believe it. Despite everything you know, you have every confidence in this person. This is something they want; something they need... and you know that they can do it. Whether it be about a relationship that everything/one is against... so much so that one parter no longer has confidence in the relationship, but the other reassures them, and knows that they can get passed everyone that disapproves(which was my first interpitation of this song... but I doubt thats what this song was written about... but it very well could be actually, considering how many of her songs are about guys) or about getting out of where you are, and living out the life you want, or maybe just a personal battle within... this song is about being strong through another person, and finding inner strength.
