Also, on Wiki
The song can also be interpreted as a personification of God's grace.
The central character in this song is Grace. Through the song her inner emotions are juxtaposed with how she appears from the outside. Lines like "She carries a pearl in perfect condition" and "when she walks on the street, You can hear the strings, Grace finds goodness in everything" refers to how she is perceived by others. However she holds a lot of emotion and pain on the inside as shown in the lines, "she covers the shame" and "she carries a world on her hips, No champagne flute for her lips, No twirls or skips between her fingertips." She appears so beautiful to the world and so caring because she holds all the sadness on the inside, where other people don’t see it. Through the song she appears as a solitary person, this is the result of her holding all emotion on the inside, effectively isolating herself. By doing this she makes herself very lonely in her suffering. The line, "she covers the shame," refers to something in her past that she must hide. Her outer beauty helps to cover a tragic past.

Faith is the substance of the things
Things hoped for
It is the heaven dance
Of things not seen
Don't you know
I have the faith
To conquer anything
Keep the faith
