"Jaybird" lyrics

I remember being young
Outside in the Florida sun
You and me dreaming about what we'd become

I remember growing up
And that jar of cash you were storing up
To give away, Jay, you gave away your love

Fly, fly, fly
Fly, fly, fly
Jaybird, jaybird, jaybird fly
Fly, fly, fly
Jaybird fly
To the place where no one dies

We started traveling everywhere
You touched and prayed for every chair
Faithfully Jesus He would meet us there
And that old devil stole your feet
He thought he stole your victory
But I watched you learn to walk again in joy and peace

Fly, fly, fly
Fly, fly, fly
Jaybird, jaybird, jaybird fly
Fly, fly, fly
Jaybird fly
To the place where no one dies

I heard it on the telephone
I wasn't there but you weren't alone
Jesus came. He took your hand and walked you home

I'm jealous of those friends and saints
That met you at those pearly gates
I miss you bad, I'll miss you to my dying day
One day soon, I'll get to see you face-to-face

Fly, fly, fly
Fly, fly, fly
Jaybird, jaybird, jaybird fly
Fly, fly, fly
Jaybird fly
To the place where no one dies

To the place where no one dies
