Sade – Sally Lyrics 10 years ago
You are correct, the song is referring to the salvation army otherwise known as "Sally Anne". The idea materialized when Sade saw a salvation army truck in New York according to Spin magazine. Robin Millar also confirmed this.

The lyrics require a little thinking as it seems to be about a woman, when infact it is about a collective entity completing the selfless task of taking care of those who have been abandoned. Wonderfully written.
