When I get where I am going

Many of you would like country music, and why not, it has an old world charm to it. When I get where I am going, is one of the best songs by Brad Paisley. He is one of the finest country singers we ever had (after Alan Jackson and John Denver, i am still stuck with the peppy 90’s). 

This song reminds you that death is not the end, its a new beginning and there is more to it than meets the eye. There is a life afterlife and who knows it tantamount to what he described in the song.

So Enjoy, hope you will like it too.

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

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

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 don’t know why I wrote this…

Walking back home after the biology exam (unfortunately that was the last day I was a school going kid), with a whole lot of living entities was something i will never ever let slip my mind in my whole life. All of us were concomitant (for the last time), Amit, Sandeepan, Sachin, Vaibhav, Dhruv, and me. We were all on cloud number nine, and were crammed with life. Was this exuberance for, the last exam, a new life or a New World, which was welcoming us with both arms wide open. Nobody cared about this at that time. We were jesting, lampooning each other while we moved the terminal steps to the bus stop. I as usual upwrought Vaibhav and Amit to shameful death. Sandeepan as usual laughed his heart out. Dhruv as usual was lost somewhere he belonged. Sachin as usual was looking out for something he never lost. “Everything is as vivid to me as if it happened a week back”. And that was really the time of my life. As we parted no one was acquainted with where the world will lead us all.
