When I Get Where I'm Going

Artist/Band: Paisley Brad

Lyrics for Song: When I Get Where I'm Going

Lyrics for Album: Time Well Wasted

(Featuring 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 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.

(Chorus)

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 grandaddy,

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.

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.

(Chorus)

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.

Hallelujah!

I will love and have no fear.

When I get where I'm going.

Yeah when I get where I'm going.

I recently heard this song again and while the tears rolled down my face, I chuckled and smiled. I can just hear my Pop singing this with his deep, booming voice and steely blue eyes sparkling. I imagine him saying these words to me and calling me honey bunny. I can't wait to get where I'm going Pop. I'll try to cry more happy tears for you.

Love, Sudabell
