My Place In This World

I have had the best evening with my nephew Colin! Just hanging out and catching up. We are driving down the road and I ask him, "Colin, whats your favorite song?" If you know Colin, he loves music and has a large vast supply. Every genre, from Michael Jackson to Michael W. Smith! So he spouts off a title which in the first place I am amazed because I thought he liked so much he could never pick just one! I didn't understand what he said so he repeated....a few times. So I say, "let me check my iphone I have some of his music" It was burnt cds that had just track numbers, no titles! So here we go one by one to see if its THE song. Track 6 starts and he says thats it thats it "My Place In This World" So we turn it up and he is jamming in his off key, muttery voice but the lyrics he is singing is coming from way down deep. And he knows every word! I haven't listened to this song for a long time so of course I am crying and we have it way loud- he is playing it on piano on his side, I am conducting on mine! For those that know Colin, you know his struggles in life. He has down syndrome and I am sure has wondered about his PLACE in the world! I thanked him for reminding me of this beautiful song and the fact that YES we ALL have a place in this world!

My Place In This World

The wind is moving
But I am standing stil
lA life of pages
Waiting to be filled
A heart that's hopeful
A head that's full of dreams
But this becoming
Is harder than it seems
Feels like I'm
Chorus:
Looking for a reason
Roaming through the night to find
My place in this world
My place in this world
Not a lot to lean on
I need Your light to help me find
My place in this world
My place in this world
If there are millions
Down on their knees
Among the many
Can you still hear me
Hear me asking
Where do I belong
Is there a vision
That I can call my own
Show me I'm
