Carpenter Mary Chapin - A Place In The World lyrics

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 lover's 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
