Switchfoot Where I belong

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

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

Where I belong

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

Forever

This song sounds like something you'd play at the end of a really epic movie

[TheBambieyes]

I seen these guy 3 times now! they kinda feel like family :') There music is so much more then just music, It touching :)

[guitartistify]

@gloinstrong That's when you tell your friends about Jesus. And watch him blow them apart with his crazy love. They're sons and daughters just like you man--like the 1 sheep that lost the rest of the flock in Matthew 18--they've just wandered off a bit.

@TheBambieyes DUDE SAME HERE. I've felt out of place.....My friends enjoy things I could never picture myself enjoying. I don't man. I wish Jesus would come back soon. :P

I love the strong lyrics, but when hearing the song, kind of feel a little disappointed.

[A3mercury]

I have felt like crap the past month and prayed that something would change.. lo and behold i find out switchfoot snuck a record in under my nose and I attached to this song immediately. Thanks for making me smile guys :) I really needed it.

@rememberwheni I agree, everyone can relate to it but it really speaks to a Christian in that in choosing to live for Christ, we're like outsiders in this world. The closer you get to God the more you feel like you don't fit in, its hard to explain, its just an odd-ball feeling, like trying to fit a square peg into a hole.

@TheBambieyes Not just every Christian, man. Everyone feels the blues.

[MrOver90000]

I don't know why, but I'm about to tear up every time I hear " I want to hold my head up high, to tell you that I tried". Gets me every single time. Foreman, you have created a masterpiece.

@Switchfoot1995 And that is the reason why it was the last song on this epic album.
