Gonna go to the place that's best
Desiring to go to the best place in the afterlife.
When they lay me down to die

Goin' on up to the Spirit in the sky
Aspiring to reach the spiritual realm after death.
Goin' on up to the Spirit in the sky (Spirit in the sky)
Repeating the desire to ascend to the spiritual realm.
That's where I'm gonna go when I die (When I die)
