On My Way Here

  • I took my first step
    On that black and white kitchen floor
    I sometimes wonder if that house
    Is even there, anymore
    I had my first glimpse of love
    When I was five
    I watched two people split apart
    But still the three of us survived

    I've seen the best
    I've seen the worst
    I wouldn't change what I've been through
    I've touched the sky
    I've hit the wall
    But I did what I had to
    Oh

    [Chorus]
    On my way here
    Where I am now
    I've learned to fly
    I have to want to leave the ground
    I've fallen hard
    But I've been loved
    And in the end it all works out
    My faith has conquered fear
    On my way here.

    Oh yeah yeah

    My address has changed
    Almost every year
    I've found that standing still
    Can quickly make a lifetime disappear
    I'd rather try and fail
    A thousand times denied
    And this, whenever you feel pain
    It lets you know that you're alive

    I've been a fool
    I've been afraid
    Yeah, I've been loved
    I've been lied to
    I've been wrong
    And I've been right
    I stood up when I had to

    Yeah yeah

    [Chorus]

    No guarantees
    I believed that I would find
    An open door or a light
    To lead me to the other side
    I guess that is why

    [Chorus]

    Yeah
