I took the reference to "sunday clothes" and "in the front row singing about how heaven calls" to interpret the song about Jenny a girl that the narrator grew up going to church with as a child. She ended up leaving the faith to find herself and then returned to the "flock" (wide eyed brothers running like Shepherds).
