When I Get Where I'm Going

In Loving Memory of our Mama

Blessed by her presence 1926-2006

Recorded by Brad Paisley& Dolly Parton

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 going to 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 going to walk with my granddaddy
and he’ll match me step for step
And I’ll tell him how I’ve missed him every minute since he left
Then I’ll hug his neck.

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 going
and I see my makers face
I’ll stand forever in the light
of his amazing grace.

Yeah, When I get where I’m going….(when I get where I'm going)
there’ll be only happy tears....(Hallelujah)
I will love and have no fears....(when I get where I'm going)
Yeah, when I get where I'm going
