I got home late from work today. It was late because I was writing, not because I was working, but somehow I don’t really think I needed to tell you that. Anyway, I was in the kitchen making a peanut butter and honey sandwich for dinner, feeling a little bummed because I live alone and don’t have a special someone to make dinner and have it ready and waiting for me when I get home late. Nor do I have a special someone to make it worthwhile to make a full fledged dinner when I get home late.
While I was spreading and squishing, the iPod was on and played this song by Bon Jovi:
Welcome To Wherever You Are lyrics
Maybe we’re all different, but we’re still the same
We all got the blood of Eden, running through our veins
I know sometimes it’s hard for you to see
You come between just who you are and who you wanna be
If you feel alone, and lost and need a friend
Remember every new beginning, is some beginning’s end
Welcome to wherever you are
This is your life, you made it this far
Welcome, you gotta believe
That right here right now, you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be
Welcome, to wherever you are
When everybody’s in, and you’re left out
And you feel your drowning, in a shadow of a doubt
Everyone’s a miracle in their own way
Just listen to yourself, not what other people say
When it seems you’re lost, alone and feeling down
Remember everybody’s different
Just take a look around
Welcome to wherever you are
This is your life, you made it this far
Welcome, you gotta believe
That right here right now, you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be
Welcome, to wherever you are
Be who you want to be, be who you are
Everyone’s a hero, everyone’s a star
When you wanna give up, and your hearts about to break
Remember that you’re perfect, God makes no mistakes
Welcome to wherever you are
This is your life, you made it this far
Welcome, you gotta believe
That right here right now, you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be
Welcome, to wherever you are
I’m not going to make any big flowery statements about what this song means to me or how it makes me feel. I have mixed feelings about it (what’s new). The lyrics are good food for thought, though, even if it’s sometimes hard to remember. Let’s just say this was topical, somewhat well timed.
