Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
When the shadows of this life have gone
I’ll fly away
Like a bird from prison bars have flown
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
[Bridge]
Take it 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
When I die
Hallelujah by and by
I’ll fly away
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
I’ll fly away
Oh glory
I’ll fly away
When I die
Hallelujah by and by
I’ll fly away
