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

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.

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

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
