Miracle Worker Lyrics

For a while I thought the girl in the song was a type of messiah, but now I don't think so. I think the girl is sick (leukemia, maybe?) and everyone in her town is grieving, they're laying their hands on her, praying over her for her to get better. A room of things she's never seen would be hospital equipment, a strange bed, etc.

The last bit kind of throws my theory off, but maybe she got better and now everyone who is sick looks to her for hope. Maybe if they meet her, they will get better, too?
