They say the cancer will take me
My heart is weaker with each beat
Oh my body has been fighting you can see
Soon my God I will meet
Don't worry my soul will go up into the sky
Oh one day with angels I will fly
One day with angels I'll fly
Oh my soul will go up into the sky
Oh yeah with angels I'll fly
Up in that great big sky
Oh one day with angels I'll fly
With angels I'll fly
As I lay on my hospital bed
They say it won't be long
So much I hadn't said
But soon I'll be gone
Oh don't worry my soul will go into the sky
Oh soon with angels I'll fly
One day with angels I'll fly
Oh my soul will go up into the sky
Oh yeah with angels I'll fly
Up in that great big sky
Oh one day with angels I'll fly
With angels I'll fly
It won't be long
Oh soon I'll be gone
Don't worry I'll be up in the sky
Oh soon with angels I'll fly
One day with angels I'll fly
Oh my soul will go up into the sky
Oh yeah with angels I'll fly
Up in that great big sky
Oh one day with angels I'll fly
With angels I'll fly
Oh yeah my soul will go up into the sky
Yeah one day Oh one day with angels I'll fly
