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
I'll fly away oh glory I'll fly away (in the morning) 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 Oh how glad and happy when we meet I'll fly away No more cold iron shackles on my feet 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
