Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll fly away, fly away
To a home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away, fly away
I'll fly away, fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away, fly away in the morning
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away, fly away
I'll fly away, fly away
Like a bird from these prison walls I'll fly
I'll fly away, fly away
I'll fly away, fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away, fly away in the morning
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away, fly away
Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away, fly away
To a land where joys will never end
I'll fly away, fly away
I'll fly away, fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away, fly away in the morning
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away, fly away in the morning
