I'll Fly Away
All Angels Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some glad morning when this life is over,
I'll fly away;
To a home on God's celestial shore,
I'll fly away (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 away (I'll fly away)

Chorus

Oh, how glad and happy when we meet
I'll fly away

No more cold or shackles on my feet
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.

Just a few more weary days and then,
I'll fly away;
To a land where joy shall never end,
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.
