I think the song is about Selma imagining herself in heaven. Her previously new world and hope, USA, didn't quite live up to her expectations, so she now tries her luck in the next world.
It could actually also be about the new life she has granted her son. From now on he'll be able to see and live his own sweet and free life without any restraints!
Dancer In The Dark is one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen, and Björk is one of the best composers ever as well!
