Lyrics

Where do I belong, where is my place

Questioning one's place and sense of belonging in the world.

out on a ledge, in this open space

Feeling exposed and vulnerable in an expansive, uncertain environment.

land for you and me, fighting to be free

Desiring a space that is inclusive for both oneself and others, while struggling for freedom.

our hopes and dreams for what we want to be

Expressing shared aspirations and ambitions for a better future.

I said where do I belong

Reiterating the central question of where one belongs.

I said where do I belong

Emphasizing the search for a sense of belonging.


I lie awake and wonder why

Reflecting on the difficulty of finding peace, keeping one awake at night.

my heart feels the way it does down deep inside

Exploring deep emotional turmoil within the heart.

confusion sets in, where shall I begin

Facing confusion and the challenge of starting a journey of self-discovery.

am I just another face, tryin' to find my final place

Questioning personal identity and whether one is just another face in the crowd.

I said where do I belong

Just like the old man and the sea

Drawing a parallel with the struggles depicted in "The Old Man and the Sea."

the phoenix rising from the ashes to be free

Using the metaphor of the phoenix to symbolize rebirth and freedom.

I'll find my way, just gonna take a little time

Expressing optimism about finding one's path but acknowledging it takes time.

I'll carry on, right on down the line

Determined to persevere and continue the journey.


oh where do I belong, where is my place

out on a ledge, in this open space
