"Where I Belong" ... Switchfoot

'Where I Belong', the closing track from the new Switchfoot album, Vice Verses. It's not exactly a worship song as we know it, but there are very few songs more worshipful. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.






Feeling like a refugee, like it don't belong to me. The colors flash across the sky
This air feels strange to me, Feeling like a tragedy, take a deep breath and close my eyes
One last time

Storms on the wasteland, Dark clouds on the plains again. We were born into the fight
But I'm not sentimental, This skin and bones is a rental and no one makes it out alive

Until I die I'll sing these songs on the shores of Babylon
Still looking for a home in a world where I belong
Where the weak are finally strong, where the righteous right the wrongs
Still looking for a home in a world where I belong

Feels like we're just waiting, waiting while our hearts are just breaking, breaking
Feels like we're fighting against the tide
I wanna see the earth shaking, I wanna see a generation finally waking up inside

Until I die I'll sing these songs on the shores of Babylon
Still looking for a home in a world where I belong
Where the weak are finally strong, where the righteous right the wrongs
Still looking for a home in a world where I belong

This body's not my own, this world is not my own
But I can still hear the sound of my heart beating out
So let's go boys, play it loud

On the final day I die I want to hold my head up high
I want to tell you that I tried to live it like a song
And when I reach the other side I want to look you in the eye
And know that I've arrived in a world where I belong

I still believe we can live forever. You and I we begin forever now
I still believe in us together, You and I we're here together now
Together now, Together now, Forever now, Forever now
