|
Wings in the morning and license to fly |
|
Straight to the portals of never more die |
|
Never more pain in them old aching bones |
|
Wings in the morning to carry us home |
|
My grandfather lived by the book all his life |
|
On rich bottom land with twelve kids and a wife |
|
He never saw |
|
TV, nor rode a jet plane |
|
But he knew that heaven was holding his claim |
|
The salt of the earth, yet with faith in the |
|
LordThey all got together in that one accord |
|
And what could be greater than |
|
God's guarantee |
|
That we can have heaven for eternity? |
|
Rocks in the road and we stumble and fall |
|
Lights getting low, so we don't see at all |
|
But I promise you, on that getting up day |
|
Wings in the morning, we'll fly away |
