If You Hadn't Been Where You Were Lyrics

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
