Lyrics
The Outsider
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They they can make a law,
Then I can break a law.
If I can break a law,
Will the law break me?
It comes tumbling down again,
I can't comprehend,
Is it destiny?
Your nomadic state,
Are you a refugee,
No place to call your home.
Forever walk alone,
As the world goes on
Forgotten by the ones you've know.
Chorus:
And all the words you gave me
I lost on bended knee
But you can't stop these cravings
Just by praying they would cease
If I can make a life,
Then I can take a life.
If I can save a life,
Will this life save me?
Time after time,
I still seem to find,
You're looking out for me.
So wrap your arms around me,
Hold me close, and don't let go.
Let me lean on you as I think things through,
If I don't then we'll never know.
Will your faith save me?
Will I find this place where I belong?
Can you protect me?
Keep me safe from harm?
Will you help me carry on?
