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
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
The salt of the earth
Yet with faith in the Lord
They all got together
In that one accord
And what could be greater
Than God's guarantee
That we can have heaven
For eternity?
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
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
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
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
