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
