Lyrics

I’ll Know When I Get There

Don’t know where I’m going
Don’t know where I’m bound
I’ve got no way of knowing
But I know it will come around
And I’ll know them by their voices
Calling like a prayer
Don’t know where I’m going
But I’ll know when I get there

Times I’ve believed
Standing in the dark
With my eyes wide open
Waiting for the spark
Hands in supplication
Touching stone, holding sand
Bound by a fascination
For every Promised Land

This is just the sunset
And these are just the stars
This is only darkness
But this is really where we are

Things we built together
Old unrendered walls
All the floors we’ve crossed
Hotel rooms and marble halls
Searching for an answer
In a breath of ancient air
Don’t know where I’m going
But I’ll know when I get there

This is just the sunset...
