When I Reach the Place I’m Going Patty Loveless

When I reach the place I'm going
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
