Not My Home
(v1)
This world is not my home
Although I’ve been deceived
I’ve tried in so many ways
To give myself some peace
(chorus 1)
Why don’t you wake up the deepest parts of me?
Why don’t you wake up all that’s been asleep?
(v2)
They say that life is a road
Filled with bumps and holes
This pathway of righteousness
Seems too hard to roam
(chorus 2)
Why don’t you wake up the deepest parts of me?
Why don’t you help me avoid the easy streets?
(bridge 1)
With a desperate heart I cry
All of heaven's watchin’ by
I’m so tired of turning, tired of yearning
Tired of seeking my own way
(v3)
In a world of if’s and doubts
I seem so incomplete
I’ve tried in so many ways
To stand on faithful feet
(chorus 3)
Why don’t you wake up the deepest parts of me?
Why don’t you break me until I’m complete?
(bridge 2)
With the whole world passing by,
My soul burns for you in the night
I’m so tired of turning, tired of yearning
Tired of seeking my own way
(bridge 3)
All these lies that were my trophies
I lay down cause you’re worth knowing
All these idols I lay down...
‘Cause this world is not my home
(chorus)
Why don’t you wake up the deepest parts of me?
(v1)
This world is not my home
Although I’ve been deceived
I’ve tried in so many ways
To give myself some peace
(chorus 1)
Why don’t you wake up the deepest parts of me?
Why don’t you wake up all that’s been asleep?
(v2)
They say that life is a road
Filled with bumps and holes
This pathway of righteousness
Seems too hard to roam
(chorus 2)
Why don’t you wake up the deepest parts of me?
Why don’t you help me avoid the easy streets?
(bridge 1)
With a desperate heart I cry
All of heaven's watchin’ by
I’m so tired of turning, tired of yearning
Tired of seeking my own way
(v3)
In a world of if’s and doubts
I seem so incomplete
I’ve tried in so many ways
To stand on faithful feet
(chorus 3)
Why don’t you wake up the deepest parts of me?
Why don’t you break me until I’m complete?
(bridge 2)
With the whole world passing by,
My soul burns for you in the night
I’m so tired of turning, tired of yearning
Tired of seeking my own way
(bridge 3)
All these lies that were my trophies
I lay down cause you’re worth knowing
All these idols I lay down...
‘Cause this world is not my home
(chorus)
Why don’t you wake up the deepest parts of me?
