If You Hadn't Been Where You Were - Rocksteady TNT

You would never
Be where you are
If you hadn't
Been where you were
If you hadn't
Walked that road
And tried to find
What you were looking for

If you hadn't
Been knocked down
And picked yourself
Back off of the ground
Would you have learned
How to stand up tall
Would you have learned
Anything at all?

I try so hard
But it's so slow
Not even sure
Is this the right way to go
So many miles
I've left behind
I'm still searching
But will I ever find?

If you worry 'bout
What other people say
Instead of finding
Your own way
Would you have ended up
Where you belong
Or would you be back
In the same old place?

And if you worry 'bout
What other people say
Follow all the rules
On how to behave
Instead of listening
To your own heart
Would you be where
You are today?

So here I am
Travelling all alone
And on my back
I carry everything I own
My shoes are worn
But I'll keep on
I won't stop
Till I find a new home

The road is long
But I'll push on
Not far to go
I must stay strong
On the horizon
What's that I see?
Could it be the homeland
That I've always dreamed?

Keep my eye on that
Guiding star
Won't sit down
Till I get that far
And when I get there
Gonna get me a job
And when I get there
Gonna buy me a car
