Alison Krauss & Gillian Welch
(O Brother, Where Art Thou? Soundtrack)
Some bright morning when this life is o'er
I'll fly away
To that home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away.
Chorus:
I'll fly away, oh Glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die Hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away.
When the shadows of this life have gone
I'll fly away
Like a bird from these prison walls I'll fly
I'll fly away.
Chorus:
I'll fly away, oh Glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die Hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away.
--- Instrumental ---
Oh, how glad and happy when we meet
I'll fly away
No more cold iron shackles on my feet
I'll fly away.
Chorus:
I'll fly away, oh Glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die Hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away.
--- Instrumental ---
Chorus:
I'll fly away, oh Glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die Hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away.
Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joys will never end
I'll fly away.
Chorus:
I'll fly away, oh Glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die Hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away.
When I die Hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away...
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Black bird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
all your life
you were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise,
You were only waiting for this moment to arise,
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Don't call me white, Don't call me white
Don't call me white, Don't call me white
The connotations wearing my nerves thin
Could it be semantics generating the mess we're in?
I understand that language breeds stereotype
But what's the explanation for the malice, for the spite?
Don't call me white, Don't call me white
Don't call me white, Don't call me white
I wasn't brought here, I was born
Circumsized, categorized, allegiance sworn,
Does this mean I have to take such shit
For being fairskinned? No!
I ain't a part of no conspiracy,
I'm just you're average Joe.
Don't call me white, Don't call me white
Don't call me white, Don't call me white
Represents everything I hate,
The soap shoved in your mouth to cleanse the mind
The vast majority of sheep
A buttoned collar, starched and bleached
Constricting veins, the blood flow to the brain slows
They're so fuckin' ordinary white
Don't call me white, Don't call me white
Don't call me white, Don't call me white
We're better off this way
Say what you're gonna say
So go ahead and label me
An asshole cause I can
Accept responsibility, for what I've done
But not for who I am
Don't call me white, Don't call me white
Don't call me white, Don't call me white
Don't call me white, Don't call me white
Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but your so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks, now I'm tryin to get back
before the cool done run out I'll be givin it my best test
and nothin's gonna stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some
But I won't hesitate no more,
no more, it cannot wait
I'm yours
Well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing
We're just one big family
And it's our godforsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved
So, i won't hesitate no more,
no more,
it cannot wait
i'm sure
there's no need to complicate
our time is short
this is our fate
I'm yours
I've been spendin' way too long checkin' my tongue in the mirror
and bendin' over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
and so I drew a new face and I laughed
I guess what I'd be sayin' is there ain't no better reason
to rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
it's what we aim to do
our name is our virtue
But I won't hesitate no more,
no more
it cannot wait
I'm yours
Well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you will find
that the sky is yours
so please don't, please don't, please don't
, there's no need to complicate,
Cause our time is short
This, this, this is our fate,
I'm yours
Never fell in love
until i fell in love with you
Never know what a good time was until i had a good time with you
If you wanna get the feeling and you wanna get it right
Then the music gotta be loud
for when the music hits i feel no pain at all
Warm summer night i was drinking with my dad
He tried to give me the love that i never had
But he gave more love to his bottle of wine
So i had to go out and find love of another kind
Here it is
Here i am
Turn it up
fuckin' loud
Radio, Radio, Radio...
When i got the music
i got a place to go
Radio clash
magnificent 7
I was a choir boy
you showed me no heaven
Two tools surely lost
no remorse ignoring the cost
Here it is
Here i am
Turn it up
fuckin' loud
Radio, Radio, Radio...
When i got the music
i got a place to go
Hey little sister do you know what time it was
when you finally seen all your broken dreams
come crashing down your door
they demand an answer and they demand it quick
or the questions fade and the wasted days
come crawling back for more
do you know where the power lies? and who pulls the strings
do you know where the power lies it starts and ends with you
the face of isolation
well that's one you recognize
well you can't get straight
it's a lonely place and
it's one you do despise
boredom is for sale now
and helplessness you feel
it's a wounded dove and the hawks are above
blood splattered on a reel to reel
I was almost over my world was almost gone
in a sudden rush I could almost touch the
things that I'd done wrong
my jungle's made of concrete
through silence I could feel
my aim is true I will walk on through
these mountains made of steel.
Love is dead.
Love is dead,
but I still can't get her out of my head,
so she'll be gone from now on
and I'll regret everything I've ever done.
She wasn't coming close to what she was supposed to do.
It really doesn't matter, still there's not a sadder lie than I love you.
Singing la la la la love is dead that's why I'm sighing
and crying and shaking my head-- love is dead.
Love is sad.
Life is bad when you can't get what you could have had.
Days are blue, nights are black.
I'd do anything if I could have her back,
but I'm just a sap and it's not gonna happen now.
It's cold dark and stormy and there's nothing for me out there anyhow.
Singing la la la la love is dead that's why I'm crying
and lying awake in my bed-- love is dead.
Emotional vertigo was never supposed to happen this time,
but if she ever were to go back to me there's nowhere I wouldn't climb.
Still out on this limb there's only me,
a damaged dim and lonely me,
stepping on my own toes while I rattle my chain of woe
