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
And I will shed the sins and struggles
That I’ve carried all these years
And I’ll leave my heart wide open
And I will love and have no fear
Oh, when I get where I’m going
Don’t cry for me down here
Gonna walk with my grand daddy
And he’ll match me step for step
And I’ll tell him how I’ve missed him
Every minute since he left
On, and then I’ll hug his neck
Yeah, when I get where I’m going
There’ll be only happy tears
And I will shed the sins and struggles
That I’ve carried all these years
And I’ll leave my heart wide open
And 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, so much darkness
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
When I get where I’m going, yeah
When I get where I’m going, yeah
I’m gonna be in heaven, heaven
When I get where I’m going
