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'
