This is the 15th song in the musical “Songs For A New World”. This song is sung from the perspective of a dead soldier whose body is being flown home to his family. The title of the song, “Flying Home”, refers both to how his physical body is being flown home to his family and how his soul is flying...
[MAN 1]
The angels called you
To leave this land
My work is finished
My work is finished
The angels command
I'll come to join you
Reach out your hand
And I'll be flying home
Straight into your arms
And I'll be flying home
Carry me on
Carry me on
And I'm flying home
[MAN 1, COMPANY, ALL]
Ooh
The angel's called me
To shut the door
We're almost touching
Ooh
We're almost touching
Just one minute more
Aah
I'll hear you call me
Just like before
Ooh
And I'll be flying home
Straight into your arms
Aah
Ooh
And I'll be flying home
Carry me on
Carry me on
And I'm flying home
Carry me on
Speak my name
Speak my name
And I'll rise into the sky
Carry me on
And I'll taste the heavens
Carry me on
And my shame and my fear
Aah
Will pass me by
I'm rising, rising
Carry me on
Say the words
And I'll lift into the air
Carry me on
And I'll stay forever
I'm ready Father
Father
Take my hand
Aah
I'm ready Father
To fly, to fly
Fly
Flying home
I'm flying home
I am flying, I am flying home
Straight into your arms
Oh, and I am flying home
Flying home
I am flying home
Carry me on
Carry me
Carry me on
Carry me on
Carry me on
Carry me on
There will be no worries
Carry me on
There will be no pain
Carry me on
I am on my way
Carry me on
Oh, ah
Carry me, carry me, carry me up
Carry me on
I'm flying, oh I am flying home
I am flying, I am flying home
Straight into your arms
Flying home
I am flying home
I am flying home
Carry me on
Carry me on
And I'm flying
