(Sings) “Some glad morning, when this life is over, I’ll fly away . . .” Then you go, “I’ll fly away, oh glory. I’ll fly away in the morning. When I die, hallelujah by and by, I’ll fly away.” That makes you feel good. You can have a hip hurting, you can have arthritis, you can have anything wrong with you, but if you can sing that song, you’re going to feel better. – Betty Johnson
