  S1:
  HE: 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

  R1:
  BOTH: 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

  S2:
  HE: 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  

  And then I'll hug his neck

  HE: 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
