Sometimes this worl gets me down.
I feel so col, so all alone.
Looki'n for a ray of light to lead me home.
I walk the streets alone,
like a stranger trapped by fate.
In some troubled, brutal dream I can't escape.

Then I feel your love fillin' me with light,
Liftin' me to higher places, changin'me inside,
Fillin' me with joy, chasin' out my fear,
All at once I know, all at once it's clear:
I know I'm not from here.

In your embrace I've found a place this world
could never give to me.
Funny, somehow heaven's come down to set me free.

When I feel your love fill me with your light,
Lifti'n me to higher places, changin'me inside,
Fillin' me with joy, chasin' out my fear,
Givin' me new hope when all my hope is gone,
Givin' me the power to go on.
Now I'm sure, now you're near
Now I know, now it's clear:
I know I'm not from here.

I don't have to save the world,
I couldn't do it if I tried.
But your love gives me power to reach out
And I change my world one person at a time.

When I feel your love fill me with your light,
Liftin' me to higher places, changin' me inside,
Fillin' me with joy, chasin' out my fear,
All at once I know, all at once it's clear:
I know I'm not from here...
