Changes

The song itself tells of a young girl, born into a dysfunctional family (father was an alcoholic, mother a drug addict, the two often fought with the girl hiding behind the couch, and importantly to the tale the parents were neither loving nor religious).  The fighting ultimately escalated into a murder-suicide (father killed mother, then himself, all while she watched from behind the couch), causing the girl to be taken into the foster care system.

Her foster parents were the exact opposite of her natural ones - loving parents who regularly attended church.  On her first day she saw a picture of Jesus Christ on the wall of her Sunday School room; she did not know who He was but recognized Him as having comforted her the night she hid behind the couch and witnessed her parents' deaths.
