When I Reach the Place I'm Going
Patty Loveless · Dreamin' My Dreams [Sony/Epic] [2005]
I will surely know my way
And I will turn and look inside me
Bid farewell to one more day.
Every light begins with darkness
Every flower was once a seed
And with the sun and wind to test us
We are bound to be released.
I will fly beyond this valley
I will open up the gate
And when I reach the place I'm going
I will surely know my way.
We have hands to hold our sorrow
We have tears to heal the pain
Although your eyes ask many questions
On your lips I hear my name.
I was born without a whisper
I was born beneath the rain
And when I reach the place I'm going
I will surely know my way.
I will fly beyond this valley
I will open up the gate
But when I reach the place I'm going
I will surely know my way.
I will surely know my way...
