Chapter 3: Trying vs. Being
Where I Been At
A song about the power of resistance, and how what we’re resisting has the power to overtake so much of our lives the more we push against it.
Where I Been At by Brandon Wilson
The world is closin’ in
Or maybe it’s my head tightenin’
Catch myself lookin’ for exits
Every room I step in
I been hedgin’ my bets
In every conversation
In as few words as I can
I try to get in and out of it
So I say:
”I’m fine;
Life’s good;
Work has been a movin’ target…”
And just like that:
Strap in
We’re on a rocket ship
To where I been at
Don’t want to be that one guy
First to speak and always to gripe
“So you’ve had a bad day?
Let me tell you about mine…”
So I say:
”I’m fine;
Life’s good;
Work has been a movin’ target…”
And just like that:
Strap in
We’re on a rocket ship
To where I been at
One word is all it takes
For the flood of all that’s been
Said and done
Come rushin’ back
That’s where I been at
