I Don't Belong
by Allison Durham Speer

Album: Favorites
by Allison Durham Speer

It's not home where men sell their souls
And the taste of power is sweet, where wrong is right
And neighbors fight while the hungry are dying in the streets
Where kids are abused, and women are used
And the weak are crushed by the strong
Nations gone mad, Jesus is sad
And I don't belong

Chorus
I don't belong and I'm going someday
Home to my own native land
I don't belong and it seems like I hear
The sound of a "welcome home" band
I don't belong, I'm a foreigner here
Singing a sojourner's song
I've always known this place ain't home
And I don't belong

Don't belong, but while I'm here
I'll be loving like I've nothing to lose
And while I breathe I'll just believe
My Lord is gonna see me through
I'll not be deceived by earth's make-believe
I'll close my ears to her siren-song
By praisin' His name, I'm not ashamed
'Cause I don't belong

Repeat Chorus

I belong to a kingdom of peace
Where only love is the law
Where children lead, and captives are freed
And God becomes a baby on the straw
Where dead men live and rich men give
Their kingdoms to buy back a song
Where sinners like me become royalty
And we'll all belong

Repeat chorus
