Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Some bright morning when this life is o'er
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 (In the morning)
When I die, hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
I'll fly away, oh, glory (Fly away)
I'll fly away (In the morning)
When I die, hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away
[Verse 3]
Oh, how glad and happy when we meet
I'll fly away
No more cold iron shackles on my feet
I'll fly away
[Chorus]
I'll fly away, oh, glory
I'll fly away (In the morning)
When I die, hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away
[Chorus]
I'll fly away, oh, glory
I'll fly away (In the morning)
When I die, hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away
[Verse 4]
Just a few more weary days, and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joys will never end
I'll fly away
[Chorus]
I'll fly away, oh, glory (Fly away)
I'll fly away (In the morning)
When I die, hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away
I'll fly away
