where i belong

Everybody hopes * That maybe somewhere down this road * We'd finally find that place where we belong * That place where we're complete * The one that occupies our dreams* That place we're lucky to call our home *Well I have arrived * And I can't keep this inside* So I raise my hands * And shout Your name * To praise You with my song,* My dream's at hand* I've found my place* The place where I belong* Everybody tries* To find the purpose for their life*In hopes that one more day is justified* But once you truly see*The very reason why you breathe* It becomes so much more than getting by*Well I have arrived*And I can't keep this inside*So I raise my hands* And shout Your name* To praise You with my song* My dream's at hand* I've found my place* The place where I belong
We love you Mommy, We'll meet you there.
