According to one interpretation of the traditional Irish Skye Boat Song, the line “Carry the lad that is born to be king” refers to the Christ child; thus, believers were “one” with Christ as they “sailed” on the “bonnie boat” into the “mystic,” or wondrous life.

I thought the Skye Boat Song referred to the escape of Bonny Prince Charlie to the Scottish island of Skye in 1746 after his attempt to overthrow the king of England had failed.

That is the traditional, and popularly accepted interpretation.

In "Into the Mystic" though Morrison refers not to: "Skye" as in the isle, but to "sky" as in the heavens. Thanks
