Do I Belong Here

Do I belong here?
Where are my friends?
Who is my family?
Am I one of them?
Sometimes I look around
And I feel so alone
Sometimes I can’t find my way home

Open your door
Come outside
Take a deep breath
Open your eyes
Every creature
every leaf, every stone
Is singing this, this is your home

I am listening
I’m trying to see
A path I can walk down
And the lights to guide me
What I need is a stillness
So I can hear an old song
What I need is to know I belong

Chorus

My heart gets heavy
My mind gets tired
Everyone’s so busy
Everything’s so wired
Where can I lay down?
Where can I rest?
Where is my own safe little nest?

Chorus

I know I have gifts to bring
I can feel them growing inside me
But where do I go
To find my place in things
I need a path
and someone to walk beside me

Open your door
Come outside
Take a deep breath
Open your eyes
Every creature, every leaf, every stone
Is singing this, this is our home
This is our home

I know I have gifts to bring
I can feel them growing inside me
