One glad morning, when this life is over
On a future joyful day, when I leave this earthly existence
I'll fly away
I will transcend beyond physical bounds
To a land where joy shall never end, oh
I will journey to a place of eternal bliss and happiness
Oh I'll fly away oh glory
I will soar victoriously into the heavens
When I die Hallelujah bye and bye
When my mortal life ends, I will chant praises and bid farewell
I'll fly away
I will ascend to a higher plane of existence

Kanye murdered this track. Ye wasnt gone let somebody murk him on his own track. If was smart he would put out an official lost tapes of all of his unreleased shit like Nas.
