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
