Lyrics
Pack up your troubles and just get happy
Encouragement to pack away worries and find happiness
Ya better chase all your cares away
Suggests actively dispelling worries
Sing Hallelujah, come on get happy
Invitation to rejoice and be joyful
Get ready for the judgment day
Prepare for a figurative judgment or reckoning
The sun is shining, come on get happy
Highlighting a positive atmosphere to embrace happiness
The Lord is waiting to take your hand
Symbolic reference to divine guidance
Shout Hallelujah, come on get happy
Encouragement to rejoice and be joyful (reiteration)
We're going to the Promised Land
Expressing anticipation of a better place or state
We're heading 'cross the river
Metaphorical journey towards redemption or a better place
Gonna wash our sins in the tide
