Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
There is a place I long to go
Where the pain gets turned away right at the door
No one gets sick, no one gets old
No more fighting, no more striving anymore
'Cause I'm on a train that's bound for glory
Got friends and family waiting for me
And they're already singing Holy
Singing Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord
One day I will fly away
Trade these bones for robes of grace
And I just can't shake this feeling in my soul
Heaven is my home
This world is a temporary place
I'll leave it one day
Out of the grave
I'll fly away
I'll fly away
There is a place I want to know
Where the heroes of the faith walk streets of gold
And from that place, I'll join the song
Singing Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord
One day I will fly away
Trade these bones for robes of grace
And I just can't shake the feeling in my soul
Heaven is my home
This world is a temporary place
I'll leave it one day
Out of the grave
I'll fly away
I'll fly away
I'm on a train that's bound for glory
Got friends and family waiting for me
And they're already singing Holy
Singing Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord
One day I will fly away
Trade these bones for robes of grace
And I just can't shake this feeling in my soul
Heaven is my home
This world is a temporary place
I'll leave it one day
And out of the grave
I'll fly away
I'll fly away
