artist: Brad Paisley Lyrics

song : When I Get Where I'm Going (Feat. 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 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

(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

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
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 found this song online a week or so ago and I absolutely love it. It's a little depressing but overall it speaks to me of hope.

I did not end up going to the College and Career group tonight and instead went to hang with my Kelowna friends. I figure that I will go to the CnC one night but I prefer to go on a night when they actually have an event planned so I don't have to entertain myself. The fact that these kids are all so young is really a stumbling block for me. The Baron said well 26 really isn't all that far from 20 to which I replied that's true but the life experiences we've had are light years away already.
