Everybody is asking why I like to swim upstream  Missing out on all the fun so it seems  But I’ve always found this world writes checks it cannot cash  Selling us the lie that this is where it’s at  But I I’m on the outside  Earthly good with heaven on my mind  And I I’m just a passer by home’s a place that I have yet to be  Life’s always felt like a long and endless dream  Where tests and trials bring you to the final wake up scene  Now I’m not saying I’ll ever waste a day  I’m just gonna live like I was never meant to stay  And I I’m on the outside  Earthly good with heaven on my mind  And I I’m just a passer by  Home’s a place where I have yet to be  One life will come to pass   And what I’ve done for you is all that lasts  And so I am here   But I’m a stranger here living in reverent fear  But I I’m on the outside  Earthly good with heaven on my mind  And I I’m just a passer by  Home’s a place that I have yet to be  That I have yet to be  That I have yet to be, hmmm  And I I’m on the outside ooh ooh  And I I’m on the outside ooh ooh  And I have life life on the outside yeah   And I have life life on the outside  And I I’m on the outside...
