Steven Curtis Chapman performs the classic gospel hymn "I'll Fly Away," a song that looks forward to the joy of heaven after this life ends. The lyrics speak of leaving earthly struggles behind and soaring to a celestial home, comparing death to a bird escaping its prison. It expresses hope and anticipation for eternal joy and peace with God. The repeated refrain "I'll fly away" reinforces the promise of resurrection and the believer's ultimate destination. This rendition stays true to the traditional hymn's message of comfort and assurance for those who trust in Christ.

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
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away
And when the shadows of this life are gone,
I'll fly away
Like a bird from prison bars has flown,
I'll fly away
Oh I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away
I'm going to fly away
Just a few more weary days and then,
I'll fly away
To a land where joy shall never end,
I'll fly away
Oh I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away
