A Place In The World Lyrics - Carpenter Mary-chapin

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
