The beauty in language and art is that the beholder is empowered to take what is presented and to interpret the meaning based on meaning and experience.
There's a nice catch late in the tune that guides my perception of the song down a slightly different path than the previous comments (which all have great perspectives to share):
"Born of a bottle
From heaven's hand
And now you know
And here I am"
I hear a parent/child interaction taking place for the first time in the child's life, likely at a time where the child is able to emotionally grasp the notion of finding out who their real parent is. Thus, the parent is also feeling the overwhelming power of the newly formed bond in the closing stanza.
The emotional delivery during the entire song is a wonderful way to tell this story.
