City In The Sky Lyrics By The Staple Singers

    there’s too many people
    tellin’ too many lies
    i’m gonna have to build them
    a city in the sky
    where i can fly away yeah

    a city so high
    won’t have it no other way no
    i sure ain’t gonna miss
    the city i leave behind
    drag out the drag
    it’s blowin’ my mind away

    there’s been too many children
    with tears in their eyes
    we’re gonna build them
    a city in the sky
    where they can fly away

    a city so high
    won’t have it no other way
    they sure ain’t gonna miss
    the city they leave behind
    drag out the drag
    it’s blowin’ their minds away

    it’s been quite a fine morning
    it’s been quite a fine day
    what a feelin’ just knowin’
    i won’t have find a way no
    to california hmm tomorrow morning oh
    i just don’t believe la no
    i’m gonna miss the city
    i leave behind
    drag out the drag
    it’s blowin’ my mind away y’all

    good idea
    gotta get away
    i wonder what it is
    that somethin’ make me
    wanna fly away
    fly fly away
    just make me fly away

    fly fly away
    i’ll fly away
    fly fly away
    i’ll fly away
    i’ll fly away
    fly fly away
    i’ll fly away
    i’ll fly away
    i can’t stand it
    i can’t stand it
    i wanna fly away
    i wanna fly away
    to the city in the sky
