The lyrics are actually taken from a poem by William Wordsworth called "My Heart Leaps Up When I Behold". Both the poem and various other songs connected to SMiLE, such as "Wonderful" and "Surf's Up", deal with the subjects of youth and spiritualism.
I personally like the song - especially its head-spinning harmonies - but only in the context of the album.
The only think I can think of is a biblical reference about Jesus, but who knows?
