When I was in college my class went on a trip to a place down the road where the county kept delinquent kids.
|
An old man with a badge said to the class "And here we have all kinds of trash."
|
I could not believe what I just heard, at first I wasn't gonna say a word.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
It's not where you been, it's where you're going. It's not who you were back then, it's who you are at this moment.
|
Kinda like looking at an old photograph, remembering way back when.
|
It's not where you been, it's where you're going.
|
|
I said "Excuse me, sir. I know you won't remember me. But try to imagine how I looked when I'd just turned 15.
|
Defiant, scared, and confused, dirty clothes and tattoos, nothing really left to lose.
|
You see the last door on the right? Sir that door used to be mine."
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
It's not where you been, it's where you're going. It's not who were back then, it's who you are at this moment.
|
Kinda like looking at an old photograph, remembering way back when.
|
It's not where you been, it's where you're going.
|
|
We all have a story we can tell. Some's been lost, some hurt, some of us have been through hell.
|
Well the past is a ghost, a door that's been closed, the start of a winding road.
|
And I know without a doubt, that doesn't matter now, cause...
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
It's not where you been, it's where you're going. It's not who you were back then, it's who you are at this moment.
|
Kinda like looking at an old photograph, remembering way back when.
|
It's not where you been, it's where you're going.
|
|
It's where you're going.
|
It's where you're going.
|
Where you're going.
|
Where you're going.
|
Oh yeah...
|
Where you're going.
|

Where You're Going
