When I Reach The Place I'm Going Lyrics - 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
