Going-to future is a term used to describe an English sentence structure referring to the future, making use of the verb phrase to be going to. The verb "go" can also be used to indicate the future in some other languages.
The going to future originated by the extension of the spatial sense of the verb 'go' to a temporal sense (a common change - the same phenomenon can be seen in the preposition before). The original construction involved physical movement with an intention, such as I am going [outside] to harvest the crop. The location later became unnecessary, and the expression was reinterpreted to represent a near future.
The colloquial form gonna is a relaxed pronunciation of going to. For example, "This is gonna be awesome!". Other variants in different forms of English are gon and a, thus, a phrase like "You're going to like it" could also be said as "You're gonna like it", "You gonna like it", "You 'gon like it" or even "You 'a like it"[citation needed]. This now forms a clear separation of the locative and temporal senses of the expression: while "I am gonna swim" is syntactically similar, a sentence like "I am gonna the beach" is not.

So you're standing in the darkness, with your back against the wall
And your eyes look kind of distant, then I knew, you'd seen it all
It was then that you betrayed me, 'cos I could see right through your gaze
I guess you and I (baby) have seen much better days
You used to be so taken with the last isle of the King
Now you find love's everything
You're going to the top, you found somebody special
Now your heart will never stop, and you know I wish you well
You could've been somebody, a contender
I guess that chance just passed you by
Now you can't remember who to trust, but I sure wish that you'd try
And nothing gets you nothing, and you get back what you give
You can't hold out much longer, it's time for you to live
You used to be so taken with the last isle of the King
Now you find love's everything
You're going to the top, you found somebody special
Now your heart will never stop, and you know I wish you well, yeah
You're going to the top, you're falling up to heaven
And now your heart will never stop, and you know I wish you well, yeah
Good things are gonna find you, though somebody's got to pay
You could always turn your back and walk, but I sure wish that you'd stay
(Solo)
You're going to the top, you found somebody special
Now your heart will never stop, and you know I wish you well, these days
You're going to the top, you're falling up to heaven
And your heart ain't gonna stop, and you know I wish you well, these days
You're going to the top, you found somebody special
And your heart will never stop, and you know I wish you well, these days
You're going to the top, and now you're someone special
And I still think of you a lot, and you know I wish you well, yeah
