Beckah Shae covers the classic hymn 'I'll Fly Away,' originally written by Albert E. Brumley in 1932. The song expresses a longing for heaven and the hope of eternal life after death. It uses imagery of flying away to a celestial home, free from earthly struggles and sorrows. The lyrics convey a joyful anticipation of leaving behind the 'prison walls' of this life and entering a place of endless joy. This cover stays true to the traditional gospel sound, emphasizing the Christian belief in life after death and the comfort that comes from that promise.

Some bright mornin' when this life is over

I'll fly away

To that home on God's celestial shore

I'll fly away


I'll fly away, oh, glory

I'll fly away

When I die, Hallelujah, by and by

I'll fly away


When the shadows of this life have gone

I'll fly away

Like a bird from these prison walls

I'll fly away


I'll fly away, oh, glory

I'll fly away

When I die, Hallelujah, by and by

I'll fly away


Just a few more weary days and then

I'll fly away

To a land where joys will never end

I'll fly away


I'll fly away, oh, glory

I'll fly away

When I die, Hallelujah, by and by

I'll fly away


I'll fly away, oh, glory

I'll fly away

When I die, Hallelujah, by and by

I'll fly away


I'll fly away, oh, glory

I'll fly away

Some bright morning when this life is over

I'll fly away


Original Songwriter: Albert E. Brumley (1932)
