lyrics

7. Where I'm Going

One lark lifting her lovely voice
wakes the heart up singing.
Joins in in a morning chorus,
exultation ringing.

I'll take a little of that bird song,
bright as the treetops glowing,
play it back in my ear every morn,
I'm gonna need that where I'm going.

Little brook, you're a Catskills stream
sprung up over the hill.
Tumbling down with the blue around,
you give this city its fill.

Fill my vessel with your cool waters.
My thirst has been growing.
Wet my lips, wet my mouth,
I'm gonna need that where I'm going.

Where I'm going, where I'm going,
Oh, may it be so,
That I have the saints of all the earth
With me where I'm going.

Old willow draped over water,
Gnarled up like a prayer.
Wind twisted the shape she's in,
but she's laughing the breeze through her hair.

I'll take the tree in the reach of my body,
my branches knowing
how to bend without giving in,
I'm gonna need that where I'm going.

My heart's busted open in beauty,
grieving my friends gone home.
I've been too sad to get on
but I guess it's time to go.

I move in an exultation,
my mind exploding
with the voices of my loves
singing me where I'm going.
