it's up in the stars" etc. seems to me a reference to the search for "heaven", "happiness", "joy", or whatever it is we think will make us happy. The point of the song is that if we are seeking happiness, then we should look at the people already in our lives, that heaven isn't some faraway impossibility or hidden secret, but rather is just love for the people around us. Too often we plumb our pasts or yearn for some particular future, thinking that somehow we're missing our chance, when really, just being here, in this place, now, today, with another person already in our life--*that* is our destiny. And it's all the destiny we need. General Comment: I think this song is inspired by a song Jack covers Imagine by John Lennon (which he covers well) and by Joseph Campbell's writings he enjoys quoting (from Rolling Stone article). While he does not deny the possiblilty of Heaven thats up with the stars or Hell thats under the sea; he poses the question what if that they might not actually exist? maybe it's nowhere at all. I think his message is that when we get caught up worrying about where we came from and where will go, we do not enjoy the present moment we have now... being here is so easy to do. He is NOT saying there is no God, but says that we should appreciate and enjoy what we have on earth. It's a pretty deep message
