High in the mountains of white clouds and alabaster
We came upon the river of gold
Sifted and shifted through a process known as placer
Disregarding consequences untold

While ascending through the forest of swollen cedars
We heard ravens as the conversed
At the summit long enough for a breather
We greeted eagles and then we reversed

Chorus
I’ll know where I’m going when I get there
It’s the sum of the places I’ve been
I’ll know where I’m going when I get there
Most likely someplace I’ve always been

While traversing across the valley of endless tundra
Several storms hit and took their toll
Stopped in our tracks and gazing in wonder
As clouds parted for a double rainbow

On a river of grey silt laden water
Granite cliffs kept us to our course
The river taught us gently each time we fought her
Follow nature it comes from the source

Chorus
I’ll know where I’m going when I get there
It’s the sum of the places I’ve been
I’ll know where I’m going when I get there
Most likely someplace I’ve always been

Instrumental

Chorus
I’ll know where I’m going when I get there
It’s the sum of the places I’ve been
I’ll know where I’m going when I get there
Most likely someplace I’ve always been

On the edge of a crystal blue glacier
The weather changes with each step we take
We could become another permanent part of nature
If we make one simple mistake
