Lyrics
WHERE DO I BELONG?
verse 1
Moving 'cross a desert highway,
trying to stay awake.
Driving toward tomorrow.
Soon I'll know my fate.
I drifted way too far away.
What was on my mind?
Now I'm on the road back home,
afraid of what I'll find.
chorus
A kid left town.
A man returns.
A boy and his dreams.
A man who's learned.
I'm not the one I used to be.
Will there be a place back home for me?
Have I gone too far now to return?
Is there one more lesson to be learned?
Where do I go now? How'd I go so far
wrong?
WHERE DO I BELONG?
verse 2
Was going to be the one who made it,
come back a hero one day.
Couldn't wait to leave there,
Couldn't wait to make my way.
But I didn't know the power
of a world that didn't care.
Didn't know I'd had it all,
and it was already all right there.
chorus
A kid left town.
A man returns.
A boy and his dreams.
A man who's learned.
I'm not the one I used to be.
Will there be a place back home for me?
Have I gone too far now to return?
Is there one more lesson to be learned?
Where do I go now? How'd I go so far wrong?
WHERE DO I BELONG?
