Trying to grow where I didn't
belong...
Unhappy, unhealthy, and not
very strong...
Each day a struggle, to try
and fit in....
Feeling like failure, before
I'd begin.
Then it all came to me,
suddenly clear...
I just wasn't meant to live
my life here!
If each day's a struggle,
with no way to win...
Perhaps it's the surroundings
you have yourself in.
Recently I was just telling a
friend...
How effortless happiness is
in the end...
You can't ever force it, or
mold it, you see...
It just has to be, what it
just has to be.
So, if ever I've learned a
lesson in life,
When everything's hard, and
struggle, and strife...
If ever your world seems
impossibly slanted...
You're trying to bloom where
you just weren't planted!
