I'll Fly A-Way

I'll fly a-way
And all my life I'll pray
That I'll fly a-way

A sparrow on my windowsill
Is calling out my name
Telling me that nothing
Can stay the same
Must stop the game

Been chasing after hand-me-downs
The fortunes of the war
But now I've got to see more clearly than
I've ever seen before
It's time to soar

So I'll fly a-way
And all my life I'll pray
That I'll fly a-way

As seasons come and seasons go
And what was young grows old
I'm finding life is not
What's bought or sold
When all is tolled

Must try to see the face of God
On every living thing
Reaching out my arms in warm embrace
Of every gift he brings
Each song he sings

So I'll fly a-way
And all my life I'll pray
That I'll fly a-way

And even when my feet
Were turned from thee, defiantly
Your Spirit bore me up
For me to see so perfectly

Day by day and stone by stone
The steeple rises high
Telling out the joy I feel inside
Nothing to hide

Perched atop its lofty heights
I can now descend
To the depths below as you once did
Your people's wounds to tend
Your love extend

So I'll fly a-way
And all my life I'll pray
That I'll fly a-way

I'll fly a-way
I'll fly a-way, Oh Lord
I'll fly a-way
