Some glad morning when this life is over. I'll fly away. To a land where joy shall never end. I'll, I'll fly away. . I'll fly away, oh, glory. I'll fly away.
Well, I wandered again to my home in the mountain. Where in youth's early dawn I was happy and free. I looked for my friends but I never could find them.
(Trad.). You've got to walk that lonesome valley. Well you gotta go by yourself. Well there ain't nobody else gonna go there for you. You gotta go there by yourself.
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, oh, glory. I'll fly away.
Soon we'll come to the end of life's journey. And perhaps we'll never meet anymore. 'Til we gather in Heaven's bright city. Far away on that beautiful shore.
I wandered again to my home in the mountains. Where in youth's early dawn I was happy and free. I looked for my friends but I never could find them. I found they were all rank strangers to me.
As I travel through this pilgrim land. I have a Friend who walks with me. He'll lead me safely through this sinking sand. Out of Calvary, hey. . This is my prayer everyday.
I'll meet you in the morning by the bright riverside. When all sorrow has drifted away. I'll be standin' at the portals when the gates open wide. At the close of life's long weary day.
