Have You Ever
Have you ever felt you don't belong
In the wrong church, singing the wrong song
Never the right room in the right house
Or even the right room in the wrong house
Always the wrong song in the wrong room
Have you ever felt from a different time
A different space
Where everything felt exactly in place
It was the perfect fit, all was in tune
And all was right, like puzzle pieces
Edges clean and perfect, no errant creases
Have you ever felt you couldn't talk
Or couldn't walk like everyone else
Seven steps off, unable to walk the walk
Or talk the talk, but------
Give this some thought, what if-----
You WERE in the right church singing
The right song in the right room of
The right house of the right time of
The right space of the right place in which
YOU DID BELONG----
And everyone else was WRONG.......
