When I watch the birds flying over
I sometimes wished I too could fly
I'd start at the top of a mountain
cnd I'd take wings and soar through the sky
cnd someday I'll have new body
cnd I pray Lord, please hasten that day
cnd if I'm alive at his coming
Or If I call up from the grave

I'll rise, I'll fly
cnd bid this old world goodbye
The prophets have told me
The grave cannot hold me
I'll rise, I'll fly

Then I'll past the stars and the planets
cnd on past the old Milky Way
No, I won't grow tired or weary
Nothing is going to stop me that day

Cause, I'll rise, I'll fly
cnd bid this old world goodbye
The prophets have told me
The grave cannot hold me
I'll rise, I'll fly

The prophets have told me
The grave cannot hold me
I'll rise, I'll fly
