Where We Should Be

Beyond the gate there is a road
A road from which a journey flows
Adventures that wait for me
Places where I’d rather be.

Beyond these walls I dare not go
To places where I do not know
Where people may be mean to me
In this house I’d rather be.

Regardless of the place I choose
There is a chance that I may lose
Except when you are there with me
So by your side is where I’ll be

It’s not so much where we go
Or circumstances that we know
But where the heart is safe and free
That is where we all should be
