A Place In The World

Mary Chapin Carpenter

(Mary Chapin Carpenter) 

What I'm looking for, after all this time 
Keeps me moving forward, trying to find it 
Since I learned to walk all I've done is run 
Ready, on my mark, doesn't everyone 
Need a place in the world 

Could be right before your very eyes 
Just beyond a door that's open wide 
Could be far away or in your own backyard 
There are those who say, you can look too hard 
For your place in the world 

Takes some of us a little longer 
A few false starts gonna make you stronger 
When I'm sure I've finally found it 
Gonna wrap these arms all around it 

Could be one more mile, or just one step back 
In a lovers smile, down a darkened path 
Friends will take our side, enemies will curse us 
But to be alive is to know your purpose 
It's your place in the world 
Your place in the world 
Your place in the world
