A lesson in the virtues we struggle to keep in the Lord’s name. Sometimes escape seems to be the best option. While this is often ineffective in daily life, knowing that at a greater level of escape will someday lead to Heaven, we realize that this world is not our home.
Lyrics
Sometimes I’d like to leave,
Forget this world
And all that it needs
Be with the Lord above
Streets of gold,
The peace of a dove
Well who would miss me?
What good could I be?
There must be a reason
For people like me
Fly Away
If I could
I’d Fly Away
Yes I would
I’d Fly Away
And He would say
You’re here for the reason
That’s the way I want it to be
The choices are yours to make
To see the world for what it could be
Be kind to your neighbor
Witness to your friends
With God in your heart
You’ll be with him in the end
We’ll Fly Away
Yes we will we’ll
Fly Away
You and me together
Fly Away
Stand up
Be kind to your neighbor
Speak out
Witness to your friends
Sing it
With God in your heart
You’ll be with him in the end
Stand up
Be kind to your neighbor
Speak out
Witness to your friends
Sing it
With God in your heart
You’ll be with him in the end
We’ll Fly Away
Yes we will we’ll
Fly Away
You and me together
Fly Away
One day I’m going to leave
Forget this world
All that it needs
Be with the Lord above
Walk those streets of gold
With the peace of a dove.
