Michael W. Smith’s “Place in This World” is an important song to me because it was something to touched me deeply during an extremely dark and scary period of my life. I had just lost a great job and dealing with a broken heart after the breakup of a serious relationship. I was in a funk to say the least and didn’t know which way to turn.
Looking back now, with many years and miles between us, I embraced that dark period. I did a lot of soul searching and feel that I did find the answers I needed and found myself. I believe each and every one of us has a place in this world and a purpose in life. We just need to follow our heart and we will find our bliss and our reason for being.
Despite the fact that this is a Christian artist and song, the meaning and message of the song is the same no matter you believe in. It’s all about finding your calling in life. Do you truly believe that you are doing what you were destined to be doing? If not, that tiny voice you’re hearing could very well be God speaking to you. In our crazy busy and ultra noisy lives we need to make an effort to stop every once in a while to catch our breath and listen.
Here’s to everyone finding their place in this world.
Place in This World
The wind is moving
But I am standing still
A 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
Looking for a reason
Roamin' 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
Looking for a reason
Roamin' 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
Lookin' for a reason
Roamin' 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
Lookin' for a reason
Roamin' through the night to find
My place in this world
My place in this world
