Lyric discussion by norasaurus 

i think this is about a girl who feels out of place in her own religion. "what would i do to believe?" makes it seem like she really wants to be a part of it all, thinking it would help her make sense of her life. she thinks that even her singing in the church choir would improve. she imagines being back in biblical times with "just sun and bread," living a simple life. she wants a piece of religion, but she can't figure out how. that's my take on it, anyway.
