Mary Chapin Carpenter - A Place in the World lyrics

[Verse] 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 Take some of us a little longer A few false starts going to make you stronger When I'm sure, I've finally found it Going to 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 [Outro] It's your place in the world Your place in the world[x2]
