Just wanted to give my two cents on the this last verse:
"and you're thinking about how someone died that day
the you that was so carefully planned
but then again maybe this life is like a sleeping mountain
waking up to shape the land"
She's not thinking about how she got an abortion that day--she's thinking about how while her birth was carefully planned, on the day she was born another woman probably had an abortion. Does that make any sense?
Then she ends the song on a positive note: having a baby doesn't mean the end of the world, just change. ("shape that land")
