Lyrics
Standing in the shadow
Of one who can do no wrong
Chasing how I might glow
And I long to belong
So what’s the use in waiting
To have what’s already mine
I’ll seize the moment quickly
And leave behind this countryside
I’ll take in every precious sight (The world is mine)
Beneath this perfect cloudless sky
Do I still need
A seat at the table
Where I’m free from the cradle
I’m bright-eyed and able
To chase my passion for what I need to do
Aimlessly I wander
This wonderful world so wide
Only to discover
How hard it is to survive
Desperation clears my mind (Am I out of time)
The destination was a lie
(I wonder as I wander)
Do I still have
A seat at the table
Though I’ve been so wasteful
I’ll wear the label
To be a fraction of what I was to you
While I was still a far way off
You ran to meet me with open arms
Ignored my pleading for compromise
Restored my place back by your side
You told me I still have
A seat at the table
Though I’ve been so wasteful
I’ll always be grateful
You had compassion for who I am to you
