Chorus / Description : The song Gonna Fly Away by Petra is about the desire to fly away and be free, possibly referencing the biblical concept of the rapture. The lyrics suggest the anticipation of a future event where believers will be taken up to heaven.
Dreamin' about flyin' since I was a boy
Never thought I'd see the real mccoy
I think it's safe to say
I finally found a way
Gonna fly away
Gonna fly away
Every day I've been looking in the sky
Hope it's not raining when I start to fly
I bet you think I'm strange
Wait until I'm changed
Gonna fly away
Gonna fly away
Where you gonna be when the trumpet blows?
All that's left of me is gonna be my clothes
I'd really like to see
You flyin' next to me
Gonna fly away
Gonna fly away
