Mary Chapin Carpenter - Place In The World Lyrics
What I'm looking for, after all this timeKeeps me moving forward, trying to find itSince I learned to walk all I've done is runReady, on my mark, doesn't everyoneNeed a place in the worldCould be right before your very eyesJust beyond a door that's open wideCould be far away or in your own backyardThere are those who say, you can look too hardFor your place in the worldTakes some of us a little longerA few false starts gonna make you strongerWhen I'm sure I've finally found itGonna wrap these arms all around itCould be one more mile, or just one step backIn a lovers smile, down a darkened pathFriends will take our side, enemies will curse usBut to be alive is to know your purposeIt's your place in the worldYour place in the worldYour place in the world
