I took my first step
On that black and white kitchen floor
I sometimes wonder if
That house is even there anymore
I had my first glimpse of love when I was 5
I watched two people split apart
But still the three of us survived

I've seen the best
I've seen the worst
I wouldn't change what I've been through
I've touched the sky
I've hit the wall
But I did what I had to

ooh

On my way here
Where I am now
I've learned to fly
I have to want to leave the ground
I've fallen hard
But I've been loved
And in the end it all works out
My faith has conquered fear
On my way here

ooh yea yea

My address has changed
Almost every year
I found that standing still
Can quickly make a lifetime disappear
I'd rather try and fail
A thousand times denied
And this, whenever you feel pain
Lets you kno that you're alive

I've been a fool
I've been afraid
And I've been loved
I've lied to
I been wrong
And I've been rite
I stood up when I had to

yea yea

On my way here
Where I am now
I've learned to fly
I have to want to leave the ground
I've fallen hard
But I've been loved
And in the end it all works out
My faith has conquered fear
On my way here

No guarantees
But I believe that I would find
An open door
Open light
To lead me to the other side
And I guess that is why

On my way here
Where I am now
I've learned to fly
I have to want to leave the ground
I've fallen hard
But I've been loved
And in the end it all works out
My faith has conquered fear
On my way here
