I’ll Fly Away.
Alan Eugene Jackson.
Some glad morning when this life is over, I’ll fly away, To a home on God’s celestial shore, I’ll fly away. I’ll fly away, oh, Glory, I’ll fly away, When I die, Hallelujah, by and by, I’ll fly away.
Interlude
Just a few more weary days and then, I’ll fly away, To a land where joy shall never end, I’ll fly away. I’ll fly away, oh, Glory, I’ll fly away, When I die, Hallelujah, by and by, I’ll fly away. Yeah, when I die, Hallelujah, by and by, I’ll fly away.

Peace Poem. By Ed McCurdy.
John Denver.
There’s a name for war and killing, And there’s a name for giving in when you know another answer, For me the name is sin. But there’s still time to turn around and make all hatred cease, And give another name to living, we could call it “Peace”, And peace would be the road we walk, each step along the way, And peace would be the way we work and peace the way we play. And in all we see that’s different and in all the things we know, Peace would be the way we look, peace the way we grow. There’s a name for separation. There’s a name for first and last, When it’s all for us or nothing, For me the name is past. But there’s still time to turn around and make all hatred cease, And give a name to all the future, we could call it“Peace”, And if peace is what we pray for, And if peace is what we give, Then peace will be the way we are, And peace the way we live. For there still is the time to turn around, And make all hatred cease, And give another name to living, We can call it “Peace”,“Peace”,“Peace”.

Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream.
Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream.
Last night I had the strangest dream, I never dreamed before. I dreamed the world had all agreed, To put an end to war.
I dreamed I saw a mighty room, And the room was filled with men, And the paper they were signing said, They’d never fight again.
And when the papers was all signed, And a million copies made, They all joined hands and bowed their heads, And grateful prayers were prayed.
And the people in the streets below, Were dancing round and round, And guns and swords and uniforms, Were scattered on the ground.
Last night I had the strangest dream, I never dreamed before, I dreamed the world had all agreed, To put an end to war.
Last night I had the strangest dream, I never dreamed before, I dreamed the world had all agreed, To put an end to war. I dreamed the world had all agreed, To put an end to war.

Beneath A Painted Sky.
Beneath A Painted Sky.
There never was a little girl more wanted than me. I had all the love a child could ever want or need. Daddy gave me everything he could afford to buy, And on the ceiling in my room he painted me a sky. He told me not to be afraid when it stormed outside. He said, “In your room, sweetheart the sun will always shine”. And through the years of growing up if something made me cry, It didn’t seem to hurt so bad beneath the painted sky. Beneath the painted sky, that’s where I want to be, A place to go when this old world gets the best of me. A place where dreams come true and no one ever says, “Goodbye”, Oh, I wish that I could live again beneath the painted sky. Girls grow up and fall in love and that’s how it is, Sometimes the men don’t love ’em like their Daddy’s did. Sometimes the hurt’s so bad, the way it is tonight, It makes me wanna be back home beneath the painted sky. Beneath the painted sky, that’s where I want to be, A place to go when this old world gets the best of me. A place where dreams come true and no one ever says, “Goodbye”, Oh, I wish that I could live again beneath the painted sky. Oh, I wish I was a kid again beneath the painted sky.

Thank God For The Radio.
Thank God For The Radio.
On the wrong end of the highway, When a long night has no end, When there’s no one there beside me, Till I hold you once again. Thank God for the radio, When I’m on the road, When I’m far from home, An’ feelin’ blue. Thank God for the radio, Playin’ all night long, Playin’ all the songs that mean so much, To me and you. There’s a song, that we first danced to, And there’s a song, they played the night we met, And there’s a song, we first made love to, That’s a song, I’ll never forget. So, thank God for the radio, When I’m on the road, When I’m far from home, And feelin’ blue. Thank God for the radio, Playin’ all night long, Playin’ all the songs that mean so much, To me and you. Thank God for the radio, When I’m on the road, When I’m far from home, And feelin’ blue. Thank God for the radio, Playin’ all night long, Playin’ all the songs that mean so much, To me and you. Playin’ all the songs that mean so much, To me and you. Thank God for the radio.
