Oh, heaven welcomes you today
We lift our hearts and softly pray
A pillar stands within our sight
A man who walked within the light
High Chief Richard Aboolay, your work is done
You ran the race, you touched the sun
Through every trial, you held your ground
A faithful soul, the peace you've found
We honor you, your legacy lives on
Even now that you have moved beyond
Fly away home, High Chief Richard
Into the arms of the King of Kings
Your journey ends in golden light
Where the choir of angels softly sings
Oh, Richard Aboolay, you’re finally home
Rest in the glory, no more to roam
Yes Lord, we praise You for his life
Free from the sorrow, free from the strife
We remember the wisdom that you shared
How deeply for the people you always cared
High Chief Richard, your name is carved in stone
In every heart, you’ve left a seed you’ve sown
Though tears may fall like morning rain
We know your soul is free from pain
Thank You Jesus for the time we had
With a heart so noble, never sad
Fly away home, High Chief Richard
Into the arms of the King of Kings
Your journey ends in golden light
Where the choir of angels softly sings
Oh, Richard Aboolay, you’re finally home
Rest in the glory, no more to roam
Yes Lord, we praise You for his life
Free from the sorrow, free from the strife
Glory, glory, hallelujah to the King
For the peace that only You can bring
High Chief Richard, rest in grace
See the smile upon the Savior's face
Praise Him, praise Him, the road was long
But now you join the everlasting song
The legacy remains for us to hold
A story of a spirit brave and bold
High Chief Richard Aboolay, farewell for now
With a grateful heart, before the throne we bow
Your light will flicker in the stars above
A testament of faith and endless love
Amen, amen, let the spirit soar
Into the light forevermore
Fly away home, High Chief Richard
Into the arms of the King of Kings
Your journey ends in golden light
Where the choir of angels softly sings
Oh, Richard Aboolay, you’re finally home
Rest in the glory, no more to roam
Yes Lord, we praise You for his life
Free from the sorrow, free from the strife
Rest in peace, Richard Aboolay
Until we meet again one day
Fly away, fly away home
Glory, glory, glory, amen
