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
