when I find my place

all my life I've waited

all my life I've searched

I've wondered and I've wandered

since the moment of my birth

but it always comes up empty

filled with tears I've cried

but if I am on life's journey

I may as well enjoy the ride

tell me that I'm wanted

tell me I exist

I may not be courageous

but I will take the risk

if it means I'll have tomorrow

the future comes so fast

still, it means something to me

if I outrun the past

          put me at the starting line

          shoot the gun and let me race

          I know I will do just fine

          when I find my place

I will take my chances

I'm aching to begin

I need to be out there trying

makes no difference if I win

maybe I'll find my answers

maybe problems will be solved

all I ask of anyone

is that I will be involved

          put me at the starting line

          shoot the gun and let me race

          I know I will do just fine

          when I find my place
