Cabin in the Sky
Discovering Paradise: A Cabin in the Sky for Two
Lyrics
In this cloudy sky overhead now
In the current uncertain or troubled situation.
There's no guiding star I can see
There is no clear guidance or direction visible.
And I would be lost by each wild tempest tossed
Without knowledge of a safe haven, I would be overwhelmed by unpredictable challenges and difficulties.
Oh, if I didn't know of a place we two can go
Despite the challenges, there is a place known to us where we can find solace and safety.
There's a little cabin in the sky, Mister
Describing the existence of a small, comforting dwelling in the sky.
For me and for you
Expressing the belief that this cabin is meant for both the speaker and the addressed person.
I feel that it's true somehow
The speaker senses the truth of this assertion.
Can't you see that cabin in the sky, Mister
Asking the addressed person if they can envision the same cabin in the sky.
An acre or two of heavenly blue to plow
Describing a substantial piece of heavenly land for cultivation.
We will be oh so gay
Anticipating a joyous and carefree life in the cabin.
Eat fried chicken every day
Envisioning a routine of happiness, symbolized by enjoying fried chicken daily.
As the angels go sailing by
Imagining a celestial scene with angels passing by.
And that is why my heart is flyin' high, Mister
Explaining the reason for the speaker's elation - the assurance of having a cabin in the sky.
'Cause I know we'll have a cabin in the sky
Reiterating the confidence in possessing the promised cabin.
We will be oh so gay
Repeating the anticipation of a joyful life in the cabin.
Eat fried chicken every day
Reiterating the delightful prospect of consuming fried chicken daily.
As the angels go sailing by
Repeating the celestial imagery with angels sailing by.
That is why my heart is flying high, baby
Stating the emotional heightening due to the confidence in having a cabin in the sky.
'Cause I know we'll have a cabin in the sky
Final confirmation of the expectation of owning a cabin in the sky.
