When I Get Where I'm Going

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,
 ♪
 Oh, 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.
