Searching Through the Skies
Fellowship Church Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jumping clouds, I'm teleskating
Exhausting every space I'm known to
I've been searching through the skies to find you
Every airport, every city
Not right now, but they'll soon know me
The way you move, I'm staying busy
I can't stay too long, got no time to lose
Gotta keep moving, keep moving
I'll be searching through the skies to find you
Searching through the skies, searching through the skies to find you
Stewardess, please tell me
Are we there or are we leaving?
I've been gone so long, I can't hold on
If I fall asleep, baby don't you leave me
Go tell the captain to please close his eyes
And happen on the place that has happened since I lost you
Searching through the skies to find you
Every airport, every city
Not right now, but they'll soon know me
The way you move, I'm staying busy
That poor, poor soul just can't sit still, can he?
I can't stay too long, got no time to lose
Gotta keep moving, keep moving
I'll be searching through the skies to find you
Searching through the skies, searching through the skies
Searching through the skies to find you
Every airport, every city
Not right now, but they'll soon know me
The way you move, I'm staying busy
That poor, poor soul just can't sit still, can he?
I can't stay too long, got no time to lose
Gotta keep moving, keep moving
I'll be searching through the skies to find you
Searching through the skies
Searching through the skies to find you
Searching through the skies to find you
The song "Searching Through the Skies" by Fellowship Church is a love song about a man who is desperately searching for his lost love. The first verse describes him "elevating" and "teleskating" through the clouds, searching for her through every airport and city. He is restless, unable to stay in one place for too long, always on the move in his search for her. He asks the stewardess if they have arrived or if they are leaving, indicating the transitory nature of his life and his constantly changing location.
The second verse continues the theme of restlessness and movement, with the man unable to stay put and constantly searching for his love. He is preoccupied with her, the way she moves, and he can't focus on anything else. The chorus repeats the line "searching through the skies to find you," emphasizing the theme of love and search.
Overall, the song captures the feeling of having a void in one's life and the constant search to fill it. The singer is unable to find contentment without his love and is willing to travel great distances and endure great hardships to find her.
