Everybody is asking why I like to swim upstream<br />
Missing out on all the fun, so it seems<br />
But I've always found this world writes checks, it cannot cash<br />
Selling us the lie that this is where it's at<br />
<br />
But I, I'm on the outside<br />
Earthly good with heaven on my mind<br />
And I, I'm just a passer by<br />
Home's a place that I have yet to be<br />
<br />
Life's always felt like a long and endless dream<br />
Where tests and trials bring you to the final wake up scene<br />
Now I'm not saying, I'll ever waste a day<br />
I'm just gonna live like I was never meant to stay<br />
<br />
And I, I'm on the outside<br />
Earthly good with heaven on my mind<br />
And I, I'm just a passer by<br />
Home's a place where I have yet to be<br />
<br />
One life will come to pass<br />
And what I've done for you is all that lasts<br />
And so I am here<br />
But I'm a stranger here living in reverent fear<br />
<br />
But I, I'm on the outside<br />
Earthly good with heaven on my mind<br />
And I, I'm just a passer by<br />
Home's a place that I have yet to be<br />
<br />
That I have yet to be<br />
That I have yet to be<br />
<br />
And I, I'm on the outside<br />
And I, I'm on the outside<br />
I have life, life on the inside, yeah<br />
I have life, life on the inside<br />
<br />
And I, I'm on the outside<br />
I'm on the outside, I'm on the outside
