Lyrics

The wind is mov ing, but (G)I am (C)stand ing (Dm7)still.

A life of pag es how (Gb)wait ing (Ab)to be (Db)filled.

A heart that’s hope ful, a (G)head that’s (C)full of (Dm7)dreams,

but this be (Bb)com ing is (Gb)hard er (Ab)than it (Db)seems.

(Ab)Feels (Bb)like

I’m look ing for a (G)rea son, (F)roam ing through the (G7sus)night to find my (C)place in this world,

my (Bb)place in this world.

Not a lot to (G)lean on.

I (F)need Your light to (G7sus)help me find my (C)place in this world,

my (Bb)place in this world.

If there are mil lions down (G)I am (C)on their (Dm7)knees,

a mong the man y, how (Gb)can You (Ab)still hear (Db)me?

A Hear me ask ing, a (G)“Where do (C)I be (Dm7)long?

Is there a (Bb)vi sion that (Gb)I can (Ab)call my (Db)own?

(Ab)Show (Bb)me.”

I’m look ing for a (G)rea son, (F)roam ing through the (G7sus)night to find my (C)place in this world, my (Bb)place in this world.

Not a lot to (G)lean on.

I (F)need Your light to (G7sus)help me find my (C)place in this world, my (Bb)place in this world.

(Bb)place in this world.

Look ing for a (G)rea son, (F)roam ing through the (G7sus)night to find my (C)place in this world, my (Bb)place in this world.

Not a lot to (G)lean on.

I (F)need Your light to (G)help me find my (C)place in this world.

My (Bb)place in this world.

Look ing for a (G)rea son, (F)roam ing through the (G7sus)night to find my (C)place in this world, my (Bb)place in this world.

Not a lot to (G)lean on.

I (F)need Your light to (G)help me find my (C)place in this world.

My (Bb)place in this world.
