Sometimes I think I don't belong here
A stranger with no home
I'm surrounded by infinity
Yet I feel so alone
Every face looks unfamiliar
Every building a facade
Voices speak in unfamiliar tongues
Crying out to God
It doesn't matter anyway
No one is listening when they pray
Sometimes I feel like I am stuck here
Where I don't want to be
Among the ignorance and malice
The deception and the greed
There's no justice for the destitute
No comfort for the poor
Just outstretched hands from those who have it all
And somehow still want more
It doesn't matter anyway
It's just the price that we must pay
Sometimes I wish that I could leave here
And walk away unscathed
But there's nowhere else for me to go
So here I must remain
And I wonder where the line is
If it exists at all
Between the heights that we aspire to
And the depths to which we fall
It doesn't matter anyway
It's just ourselves that we betray
