In Exile

I am an 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

A city that endures where all is made new

And no 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 there'll be no pain or tears anymore
