Seems to me that he is referring to his perspective of the future Judgement Day...
Much of Christian theology about J.D. in the more recent past talks about Jesus "coming down out of the heavens" to gather his "flock" and take them up with him into heaven. It tends to emphasize the "divine" nature of Christ...and how this world has little to do with heaven.
More recently, though, there has been a shift in thinking that focuses more on the incarnation of Christ. Heaven will be brought to this earth...the earth will be renewed...all of creation will join in praise...a very earthy, incarnational understanding of heaven.
As I said earlier, looking at it from this "incarnational" perspective...seems to me this is what Page France had in mind:
Both "the birds and bees and old fruit trees" and "the bears and bees and the nana trees" lyrics refer to all of creation singing praises to Jesus
My guess is that most people, when they think of Jesus' return, they think about him coming from the sky. P.F. flips this kind of thinking on its head by saying he will come "up through the ground, so dirty."
"Jesus will dance while we drink his wine" - reference to the celebration of heaven.
"we will be joy AND we will be right" - Whoever posted the lyrics on this page got them wrong. Anyway, this is another reference what it will be like in heaven.
heck, even the first line of the song has a biblical meaning - "I will sing a song for you" is a reference to those in heaven (and the rest of creation) always singing praises to the Lord.
My apologies for the length...
This is just my perspective, though....hope it helps...
