When I get where I´m goin´,
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 goin´,
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 goin´,
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´ve missed him,
Every minute since he left, and then I´ll hug his neck.
Yeah, when I get where I´m goin´,
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 goin´,
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,
And so much work to do.
But when I get where I´m goin´,
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 goin´,
(Oh, when I get where I´m goin´.)
There´ll be only happy tears.
(Hallelujah.)
I will love and have no fear.
Ah ha.
(When I get where I´m goin´.)
Yeah, when I get where I´m goin´
