Fly
Bonnie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some glad morning when this life is o'er I'll fly away
To a 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'll die hallelujah by and by I'll fly away
[ guitar ]
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 oh Glory...





Overall Meaning

Bonnie's song "Fly" shares many similarities with the hymn "I'll Fly Away" written by Albert E. Brumley in 1929. Lyrically, Bonnie's song expands on the ideas of heaven and the afterlife presented in the hymn. The song speaks of the singer's hope to one day leave this life and find a new home on God's celestial shore. This hope allows the singer to look forward to a new land where joy shall never end.


The lyrics of "Fly" are heavy with religious symbolism and ideas of death and rebirth. The title itself implies a release from earthly bonds and a transcendence to a higher plain. "Fly" borrows the traditional folk gospel sounds and combines them with a modern twist. The classic song "I'll Fly Away" was written at a time when the Christian gospel music movement was gaining steam. Bonnie's interpretation of this song is significant because it shows the universality of the human condition and our yearning for something greater beyond life's struggles.


One interpretation of "Fly" is that the song is ultimately about hope. The singer is communicating their deep longing to leave this life behind and be united with God in the afterlife. Through this hope, the singer is able to find meaning and purpose in a difficult and often unpredictable world. The song's message is one of love, faith, and resilience. It is an anthem for anyone who feels lost or alone, reminding them that there is always hope no matter how dire the situation might seem.
