There's a Place For Us—Carrie Underwood (3:52)

She had watched them since she could remember. She wasn't like them. She didn't belong with them. But she didn't know anything else. They were all she had. All she knew.
Her books told her of wondrous places and the people that lived there. Somewhere that she might just fit in. A place for people like her. Misfits. Outsiders.
But she was afraid. A bit. Her family were all she knew personally. And books lied sometimes. Not as much as her family but they still lied. So maybe those places didn't exist. Maybe they were a dream that she would never reach.
Still she hoped. She wanted more. More than her parents and brother. More than being the outsider in her family. She wanted what the books promised. She loved her family, she really did. For all of their faults they were still hers. But…but…
She dreamed.
