When  I  get  where  I'm  going
On  the  far  side  of  the  sky
The  first  thing  that  I'm  gonna  do
Is  spread  my  wings  and  fly
I'm  gonna  land  beside  a  lion
And  run  my  fingers  through  his  mane
Or  I  might  find  out  what  it's  like
To  ride  a  drop  of  rain
Yeah  when  I  get  where  I'm  going
There'll  be  only  happy  tears
I  will  shed  the  sins  and  struggles
I  have  carried  all  these  years
And  I'll  leave  my  heart  wide  open
I  will  love  and  have  no  fear
Yeah  when  I  get  where  I'm  going
Don't  cry  for  me  down  here
I'm  gonna  walk  with  my  grand  daddy
And  he'll  match  me  step  for  step
And  I'll  tell  him  how  I  missed  him
Every  minute  since  he  left
Then  I'll  hug  his  neck
Yeah  when  I  get  where  I'm  going
There'll  be  only  happy  tears
I  will  shed  the  sins  and  struggles
I  have  carried  all  these  years
And  I'll  leave  my  heart  wide  open
I  will  love  and  have  no  fear
Yeah  when  I  get  where  I'm  going
Don't  cry  for  me  down  here
So  much  pain  and  so  much  darkness
In  this  world  we  stumble  through
All  these  questions  I  can't  answer
So  much  work  to  do
But  when  I  get  where  I'm  going
And  I  see  my  maker's  face
I'll  stand  forever  in  the  light
Of  his  amazing  grace
Yeah  when  I  get  where  I'm  going
There'll  be  only  happy  tears
Hallelujah
I  will  love  and  have  no  fear
When  I  get  where  I'm  going
Yeah  when  I  get  where  I'm  going
