Be-Longing

Oh, these words they fall and tumble out of my mouth
Not in order, shape, rhyme or form
The seeming only way to depict my inner world to the outside
Looking for a place to belong

But wait. To belong. What does it mean?
What's to be done?
My heart - wants to belong
I've been searching this place for so long
My heart - is like a child - it sings strong, is love and beats wild
Hold on - all these years - I had it wrong - I already belong

This is who I am
This is where I'm from
This is my mess
To myself I belong

Oh, This is who I am
This is where I'm from
This is my mess
To myself I belong

In this modern day and age the sacred is amiss
Where is intimate connection, a souls true bliss?
We are distant, we are scared of each other
And the neighbours
Quiet in our bunkers, loud in our echo chambers

All of us a part of one, none of us alone
The severed sense of our relation we ought to hone
Wilderness inside myself, wear scars for all to see
Storms my blow, earth may shake
Roots firm like a tree

They say either you are with us or against the team
Ask questions, be brave - only dead fish swim with the stream
Solid authenticity, courage in imperfection
Let your wild heart shine - you'll meet a powerful reflection

This is who I am
This is where I'm from
This is my mess
To myself I belong

Oh, This is who I am
This is where I'm from
This is my mess
To myself I belong

What's the moral of the story, you may wonder now
Front made of love, back forged of courage
To these virtues I vow

Hold hands with a stranger
Go and find the other heroes
They see the light you spark in them
Oh, just like mirrors

Oh, This is who I am
This is where I'm from
This is my mess
To myself I belong

This is who I am
This is where I'm from
This is my mess
To myself I belong
