In Exile

I am in exile, a sojourner

A citizen of some other place

All I’ve seen is just a glimmer in a shadowy mirror

But I know, one day we’ll see face to face

I am a nomad, a wanderer

I have nowhere to lay my head down

There’s no point in putting roots too deep when I’m moving on

Not settling for this unsettling town

My heart is filled with songs of forever

The city that endures when all is made new

I know I don’t belong here, I’ll never

Call this place my home, I’m just passing through

I am a pilgrim, a voyager

I won’t rest until my lips touch the shore

Of the land that I’ve been longing for as long as I’ve lived

Where they’ll be no penalties anymore

My heart is filled with songs of forever

The city that endures when all is made new

I know I don’t belong here, I’ll never

Call this place my home, I’m just passing through
