"Sky Fits Heaven" is a song by Madonna from her seventh studio album Ray of Light. The song was released as the only promotional single off the album in the USA.

Background[]

In this song Madonna claims that there are signs for everyone in their own road, in their own road in life, in whatever they do, anything can affect anyone in their own journey in life, but she’s saying that she will follow her heart and listen to what her feelings tell her to do first and forget about other things that keep her from doing whatever she loves and that’s a call for the listeners to start doing so. The song borrows a few lines from a poem written by poet Max Blagg, which he read for a GAP AD in the early 90s

Composition[]

The song focuses on Madonna's spiritual studies and her daughter Lourdes. Elements of the lyric are taken from the poem What Fits? by poet Max Blagg.

Lyrics[]

Sky fits Heaven, so fly it
That's what the prophet said to me
Child fits mother, so hold your baby tight
That's what my future could see

Fate fits karma, so use it
That's what the wise man said to me
Love fits virtue, so hold on to the light
That's what our future will be

Traveling down this road
Watching the signs as I go
I think I'll follow the sun
Isn't everyone just
Traveling down their own road?
Watching the signs as they go
I think I'll follow my heart
It's a very good place to start

Traveling down my own road
Watching the signs as I go
Traveling down my own road
And I'm watching the signs as I go
Traveling, traveling
Watching the signs as I go

Hand fits giving, so do it
That's what the Gospel said to me
Life fits living, so let your judgments go
That's how our future should be

Traveling down this road
Watching the signs as I go
I think I'll follow the sun
Isn't everyone just
Traveling down their own road?
Watching the signs as they go
I think I'll follow my heart
It's a very good place to start

Traveling down my own road
Watching the signs as they go
Traveling down my own road
And I'm watching the signs as I go
Traveling, traveling
Watching the signs as I go
