Where I am

I used to chase things just to feel alive

Burned a few bridges just to watch the sky

Learned the hard way how to lose and stand

Life don’t hand you grace — it teaches it by hand

I thought by now I’d have more mapped out

But the older I get, the less I doubt

This place I’m in may not be the peak

But it’s strong, it’s real, and it’s startin’ to speak

I’m where I’m at

And it’s better than where I thought I’d be

Not perfect, not finished, but I finally see

The view’s alright from here

But it ain’t where I’m settlin’ in

It’s not the start, it’s not the end

I’m just somewhere in between

Where I’m at… ain’t where I’m goin’

But it’s better than where I’ve been

There’s coffee stains on my old desk

And battle scars beneath my vest

I’ve loved hard, lost well, learned slow

And I’ve still got miles before I go

I used to dream loud, now I plan quiet

Count my peace more than I count my diet

I don’t need applause — I need legacy

And a few good folks walkin’ close with me

I’m where I’m at

And it’s better than where I thought I’d be

Not lucky — just tried, just steady, just me

The climb ain’t done

But I’m grateful for the view I’ve seen

I’m not stuck, I’m not coasting

I’m just somewhere in between

Where I’m at… ain’t where I’m goin’

But it’s better than where I’ve been

I’m not lookin’ back with regret

I’m not lookin’ ahead with fear

I’m just lookin’ around…

And knowin’ I’m meant to be here

I’m where I’m at

And that’s a gift I never planned

Every detour made me a better man

I’m still climbin’

Still building what I hope will last

And I may not know how far or fast

But I know I’m not done yet

Where I’m at… ain’t where I’m goin’

But it’s better than where I’ve been
