Gonna Get Where I’m Headed (Brownstein/Battat)
Looking back on all the days I used to take for granted
When my life barely resembled the life I've now been handed
Should I have listened when they had my ear?
Can I turn my back now after all these years?
These questions keep on rattling around in my mind
The answers get harder for my heart to find
But I can imagine myself floating free
Away from anything anyone wants me to be
I'm gonna get where I'm headed
If it takes me my whole life
I'm gonna get where I'm headed
Keep fighting the good fight
I'm gonna get where I'm headed
No matter what they say
I'm gonna get where I'm headed
Gonna get there anyway
Everything I've worked for is all that I can give
As a testament to the way I choose to live
But is there something missing that could help explain
Why I can feel solace and still feel the pain?
These questions keep on rattling around in my mind
The answers get harder for my heart to find
But I can imagine myself floating free
Away from anything anyone wants me to be
I'm gonna get where I'm headed
If it takes me my whole life
I'm gonna get where I'm headed
Keep fighting the good fight
I'm gonna get where I'm headed
No matter what they say
I'm gonna get where I'm headed
Gonna get there anyway
Well I have a dream that keeps coming back
Let's me know I'm running on the right track
Shows me my heaven, shows me my hell
When I wake up in the morning I know I'm doing well, because
I'm gonna get where I'm headed
If it takes me my whole life
I'm gonna get where I'm headed
Keep fighting the good fight
I'm gonna get where I'm headed
No matter what they say
I'm gonna get where I'm headed
Gonna get there anyway
