When I Get Where I'm Going

This is a country song by Brad Paisley & Dolly Parton that I really like. Without the music it's not quite as good but they lyrics are still moving:

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 the Lion
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
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
And then I'll hug his neck

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.
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 sadness
In this world we stumble through
So many 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...
