I'll Fly Away
Carl Perkins Jerry Lee Lewis Johnny Cash Lyrics

Some glad morning when this life is o'er,
At an unspecified time in the future, when my time on earth comes to an end and my current life ends,

I'll fly away.
I will depart, leave this earth, and pass on to the next life,

To that home on God's celestial shore,
I will journey to a peaceful, harmonious place in heaven where God and his angels reside,

I'll fly away.
I will move on to the next phase of existence,

I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away.
I will depart from this world with enthusiastic joy and bliss,

When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
At the point when I pass away, there will be cause to rejoice and express gratitude,

I'll fly away.
I will leave this earthly plane of existence,

Just a few more weary days and then,
In the short amount of time I have remaining on this earth, as my mortal body grows tired and my life ebbs away,

I'll fly away.
I will depart from this world and move on to the next phase of existence where I will experience eternal peace and joy,

To that land where joy will never end,
I will journey to a place where happiness will be everlasting and there will be no sense of sorrow or worry,

I'll fly away.
I will leave this current existence behind,

Oh I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away in the morning
I will depart from this world with a sense of glory and wonderment, setting off towards a bright and shining new beginning,

When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
At the time of my passing away, there will be much rejoicing and gratefulness expressed,

I'll fly away.
I will leave behind this temporary existence and move on to the next phase of life where all things are made new.
