What do you think this poem is about?

A Desperate Prayer

Dear God I hope you'll hear me
And listen to my cry
Forever I cannot be here
And here I want not die

Stretch down your hand from heaven
And stop the lion’s mouth
Guide me out of Egypt
For I know not north or south

Make a way where there's none to be found
For a miracle I could use
Please help me find my path, oh Lord
I know not what to choose
