ON THE OUTSIDE

Never quite at home
Always you’re alone
Always on the outside
Riding out the storm
So where do we now start
Where do we begin
Never looking outside
Always looking in
Always on the outside
And never quite at home
Always on the outside
And every Christmas you’re alone
Waiting for the dawn
Family full of strangers
Barely holding on
Always on the outside
You know you must be strong
Always on the outside
And you’ll survive the storm
And always you’ll belong
Always you’ll belong
Always you’ll belong
