The wind is moving, But I am standing still
A life of pages, Waiting to be filled
A heart that's hopeful, A head that's full of dreams
But this becoming, Is harder than it seems
Feels like I'm
Looking for a reason, Roaming through the night to find
My place in this world, My place in this world
Not a lot to lean on, I need Your light to help me find
My place in this world, My place in this world
"Place In This World" - Michael W. Smith
