On My Way Here - Clay Aiken

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

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

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

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

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
