Verse 1:
(I'm going away, I'm going away),
to a place, I'll live eternally,
special place prepared just for me;
I'm going away,
(I'm going away, away).
Verse 2:
I'm going away, I'm going away,
no more tears or sorrow over there,
we will live free from every care;
I'm going away,
(I'm going away, away).
Bridge:
One of these mornings it won't be long,
(You will look for me and I'll be gone).
Going to Glory to sing and shout,
(there'll be nobody there to put me out);
(I'm going away, I'm going away).
Verse 3:
I'm going away,
I'm going away,
to a place (prepared just for me)
a special place (I'll live eternally)
(I'm going away, I'm going away).
Vamp 1:
I'm going away,
I'm going away,
I'm going away,
I'm going away.
Ending:
I'm going away.
Vamp 2:
Altos:
It won't be long.
It won't be long.
Tenors:
Someday we'll be away.
Sopranos:
Soon and very soon
we're going to see the King.
Soon and very soon
we're going to see the King.
