Where I Stand

⸻

(acoustic + light electric, steady beat builds)

I ain’t got it all figured out

⸻

Grew up thinking there’d be a moment

Where it all would make sense

Like one day I’d wake up knowing

Where it’s going, where it ends

But it don’t work like they tell you

There ain’t no clear-cut plan

Just a lot of second guessing

Trying to be a better man

Bills come in, time moves faster

People change, nothing stays

Some nights feel like I’m moving forward

Some feel like I’m stuck in place

⸻

But I ain’t where I was before

And that’s enough for now

⸻

This is where I stand

Not everything I planned

But I’m still holding on

Doing the best I can

Ain’t got all the answers

Still learning who I am

But I’m a little further on

Than where I began

This is where I stand

⸻

Seen friends take different roads

Some made it, some fell off

Some found something worth holding

Some lost more than they got

I’ve had days I felt like quitting

Like I’m running out of time

Then I look at where I started

And I know I’m doing alright

It ain’t perfect, never will be

But I’m still showing up

Even when it feels like everything

Is pushing me to give up

⸻

And I might not have it all

But I ain’t backing down

⸻

This is where I stand

Not everything I planned

But I’m still holding on

Doing the best I can

Ain’t got all the answers

Still learning who I am

But I’m a little further on

Than where I began

This is where I stand

⸻

(groove strips slightly)

No map, no guarantee

Just a road in front of me

And I’m walking it

One step at a time

⸻

This is where I stand

Not everything I planned

But I’m still holding on

Doing the best I can

Ain’t got all the answers

Still learning who I am

But I’m a little further on

Than where I began

This is where I stand

⸻
