This song may illustrate a young child's attempt to comprehend an over-simplified concept of the afterlife, especially when told that Heaven is in or just above the sky and that virtuous human souls become angels, and when unaware that gravity exists not in the afterlife. It suggest that the child may deconstruct the image to the point where Heaven sounds like a nightmare.
Compare and contrast the Modern Family episode where Jay plays golf on Sunday instead of going to church, and he and Gloria give Manny different images of what Heaven is like. Manny does not understand that even if Heaven were on the clouds, souls could not fall through them. Then when Gloria says there are butterflies in Heaven, Manny freaks out because they terrify him.????
