Lyrics:

Some bright morning when this life is over
I'll fly away To that home on God's celestial shore I'll fly away Chorus: I'll fly away oh glory I'll fly away When I die hallelujah by and by I'll fly away When the shadows of this life have gone I'll fly away Like a bird from these prison walls I'll fly I'll fly away Just a few more weary days and then I'll fly away To a land where joys will never end I'll fly away |
