Mary Chapin Carpenter — A Place In The World lyrics

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 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
