"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

[Repeat chorus]

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

a radio station played that song for me on my birthday last year, the day after grandma went home for good. so everytime i hear it it reminds me of her and somewhat of the pain of losing her, but she aint hurting anymore and i wouldnt take that away for anything in the world. she is at peace and with both my uncles and my great grandma and mama doll. i know ill see her again and ill get to throw my arms around her and wont hurt her.

Thumper: Thank you, I know that I'm going to miss my grandmother when shes gone. But she will be with her true love once again who has been gone for a year and 2 months. :cry: brokenheart
