When I Get Where I'm Going Songtext
von Geoff Moore

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′ve 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 granddaddy
And he'll match me step for step
And I′ll tell him how I've missed him
Every minute since he left

Yeah, when I get where I'm going
There′ll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I′ve 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
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
There′ll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I′ve 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 (yeah)

Yeah, when I get where I′m going (yeah, yeah)
(Ooh-ooh, Hallelujah)
There'll be only happy tears
(Hallelujah)
I will love and have no fear
Yeah, when I get where I′m going
