I wonder how clear it must look from there to here
No obstruction, this selfish corruption
All in this atmosphere
No fear, less tears, only time to catch my breath
I fail to inhale
Your love constricts my chest
Confusion blinded me, mental and physically
And it’s because of you that now I can see
So now can I run? I follow the Son and ride on to Zion
And dance this last song of freedom
But only time will tell, if it’s truly for real
Can’t change your mind, all I know this is what I feel
Whether I’m wrong or right, please keep my life in sight
And never take you eyes off me
chorus:
As I look up to the sky today
Well I can see you looking down on me
It brings a smile to my face again
Satellite
It’s truly one of a kind, like star shine, beyond night time, are you there
My eyes stare to find, just what’s behind this blind notion of mine, is it genuine
Cause sometimes, it plays tricks with my mind, some call it asinine
But it’s like love or hate, now is that real or fake?
Cause it’s a real thin line, but that’s your choice to make
The question at hand, help me understand, is this your plan?
I think I can, can I think, then I think I can
Because I won’t break (nah), and I won’t shake (nah)
With lifted hands to this Man (Jah), I’ll stand in faith
I’ll make it through, my trust in you
Close my eyes, make a wish, kiss the sky
Hey there…I see you
chorus
No obstruction, this selfish corruption
All in this atmosphere
I fail to inhale
Your love constricts my chest
And it’s because of you that now I can see
So now can I run? I follow the Son and ride on to Zion
And dance this last song of freedom
Can’t change your mind, all I know this is what I feel
Whether I’m wrong or right, please keep my life in sight
And never take you eyes off me
As I look up to the sky today
Well I can see you looking down on me
It brings a smile to my face again
Satellite
My eyes stare to find, just what’s behind this blind notion of mine, is it genuine
Cause sometimes, it plays tricks with my mind, some call it asinine
Cause it’s a real thin line, but that’s your choice to make
The question at hand, help me understand, is this your plan?
I think I can, can I think, then I think I can
With lifted hands to this Man (Jah), I’ll stand in faith
I’ll make it through, my trust in you
Close my eyes, make a wish, kiss the sky

GREAT song! God is everything good. He sees all that goes on and all our thoughts and actions, like a satellite. We are clearly blinded by all the selfish corruption in this world along with a bunch of evil greed. Lord, save us all...
It's about Sonny's mom, and hoping that what he believe's in (Eternal Life) is real so that one day he can be reunited with her. It's about faith.
this is a great song and it is the closest to rap that i will ever like.
ofc song is about God but..
It's also written with sarcastic metaphor instead of God there's a satelite looking down on him.
"As I look up to the sky today Well I can see you looking down on me It brings a smile to my face again Satellite"
so i think they write against high-tech used on spying people,war,etc...
this is about God looking down on the writer and looking out for him. its talking about his stuggles in faith when he says "Because I won’t break (nah), and I won’t shake (nah) With lifted hands to this Man (Jah), I’ll stand in faith I’ll make it through, my trust in you" when sonny says "The question at hand, help me understand, is this your plan?" he is asking God to show him his plan
this song is about god, if ya couldn't figure it out on your own...Jah is another word for God.
Yup, it comes from "Yahweh", meaning "I am". That's exactly who Jesus Christ said he was.
This song's about questioning and finding God. Simple as that.
actually its about how God is watching us from above (hence the sattellite) and that he is universal
More to the point, it's about God and Sonny's mother. It's an allegory in a way. A painful allegory.
