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
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 prison bars have flown, I'll fly away

I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away
When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away

(Take it 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

I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away
When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away
Just a few more weary days and then, I'll, I'll fly away
To a land where joy will never end, I'll fly away
(One more time)
I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away
When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away
When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away
