I lost my wife this year this past March. Cancer. 37 years of marriage. My best friend by far. I spent three months trying to decide how to keep going. Then, somehow I decided to see about seeing Collective Soul in concert after listening to Run. Then there was Switchfoot touring with them. I knew a couple of their songs mainly from Pandora, but that was about it. So, in order to prepare for seeing them with Collective Soul, I started listening. And I was floored. Never in my life have I found such relevant music for me. Song after song. It's like I wasn't supposed to find them until now, in 2022, when I needed them most. What a blessing.
I lost my best friend/wife of almost 22 years December 25 of 2015. Had a 14 year old and a 17 year old. If it weren't for the greatest therapy of all, music, we would have had such despair! My daughters immersed themselves with music with school and personal life. But of course without my faith, I'd be a basket case. So thankful for these artist that help us keep focus! Hang in there my brother!
@@tammy7472 thank you, Tammy. I'm very sorry for your loss. Losing a child, including adult children, is difficult to process, and especially when it seems preventable. We lost our oldest daughter almost 6 years ago to addiction. My wife and I were raising her 4 kids. Now it's just me trying to do it. We had each other to get through it, though. Unexpectedly, losing my wife has been worse for me. Way worse.
This would be the last song I would want hear to before I go meet Jesus. Thanks for everything J.C even though I don't deserve it, yet you're Grace is sufficient for me , so Thankyou again for everything you have ever done for little old me. Praise be to You Lord for ever and ever amen.
I was mowing my yard and was so moved that I raised my hands to God with tears of love thanking my Lord for letting me feel Switchfoot...your music takes me to places I yearn for and one day we will all be there together...love to you
A song that makes you reflect on life, purpose and struggles of an unfair, fallen world. Indeed one of the best and most introspective lyrics I have ever listened too. I love this song and I love it everyday!
In every situation God has better plans then the plans you have in mind. He surprises you when the least expected. He knows where you belong. Jesus will take the lead of your life, just Keep PRAYING and read his words. Jesus loves you so much!
Jon is a prophet. He speaks and sings what He has been lead to. You can hear the sincerity and love in his voice.. the most intimate songs that I sing to God our theirs and Lifehouse
I grew up playing in garage bands and loving the rock music of the 70's. Until recently, my workout playlist was mostly Van Halen and Sammy Hagar. But then I discovered Switchfoot. If these guys had gotten playtime on secular radio stations, they would be one of the biggest bands ever. Now my playlist is dominated by songs like, Wild Horses, Mess of Me, Ammunition, The Sound, The War Inside, Meant to Live, and on. Switchfoot ROCKS! And, they rock with a message.
Going through so much this year, lost my best friend, lost my finances, had to move back home, lost my business and got rejected at my church but Jesus is my hope. Jesus can restore that which is lost. Feel alone but I'm not! Feel broken but thats good. My hope is in Jesus, in meeting Him face to face one day. My hope is in my real home. This body is not my home, this world is not my home. I put my trust in your Lord God!😁
Jesus never leaves you bro. Isaiah 43:2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. God never promised us that you know we won't be in the fire or feel like we're drowning, but that Jesus will never ever ever leave us. Jesus will always be your side. Thanks for being alive, you got this
"Where I Belong" so reminds me of Revelation 21:4, "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
Do not use verses. People abuse from everywhere people's lives are taken for granted from religious circles a scoundrel. The verses give false hope. It's great to be in truth. That's life. The truth is God is with you where ever whatever and righteousness will be restored if not here in heaven and hell. That's all
These days people are lot more into electronic music, Rap. Bands like Switchfoot makes me realise the amount beauty this world has. I love these guys. They are really nice people and good musicians.
Christ is in his believers now, Christ in Us is the hope of glory, Mystic Born Again believers go up in accession experiences like the prophets of old : )
Feeling like I don’t belong in this crazy world today. I’m a pretty joyful person, and people give me bad looks for it and avoid me, as if my cheer is a disease. Makes me weary. Breathing in, breathing out, refocusing on the One I love and live for, and clinging to this song. This is my anthem today. I refuse to hide my light in this dark world, actually, in an act of rebellion, I’m gonna shine brighter! Love harder! Let that joy bubble out and if they shudder, so be it! I know there is a home, a world where I belong…and I press on to reach it. God bless Switchfoot. 💛💛💛💛 God bless whoever reads this. 😘 God loves you.
believe me I understand that I'm a missionary in Taiwan self-supported man there are times I don't even want to talk to people. working with kids and young people but it's not easy doing that when you've got PTSD finally after 27 years God is actually healing my wounds like within the last month every day my spiritual mom prays for me I was just a combination of God's timing
"This song.. is a promise" Thank you for this song! Listening during the crisis of 2020. Holding to a promise of tomorrow. Thank you Switchfoot for this masterpiece and thank you God for Switchfoot!
And it's the right song to end with, too. Much rather be left with this at the end of a night than Meant to Live... I've always loved that Switchfoot chooses some of their most meaningful songs to play live rather than just their most popular ones. One of my favorite bands to see live. Something always seems to hit me really hard during their live shows. Whether it's when they announced that Romey beat his cancer, or at the last Bro-Am when a flock of seagulls flew overhead during Needle & Haystack Life and it reminded me of the Hello Hurricane album cover, something always seems to make me shed a couple tears.
Yeah I've been listening to this band for more than 12 years. My elder brother would blast their songs when he was in college & I was just a pre-teen. Although I was just 10, I really FELT whatever these guys spoke in their songs.
“As for man, his days are as grass: As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; And the place thereof shall know it no more.” Psalm 103:15-16 KJV
I agree wholeheartedly with Curt Benson! I am sorry for your loss! But switchfoot has a way of realining me with God! I listened to the lyrics and they're all about God! I listen to them every morning prior to my devotions to God! They prepare my heart! Thanks Switchfoot!
I've always thought of this song as Jon Foreman's great summation of his life and career, the song he'll be singing on his deathbed. It's a beautiful tribute.
There's a few switchfoot songs that do this, but this one in particular makes me feel something indescribable. I always cry when I listen to this song, it strikes so deep that I can't listen to it too much because I can only handle so much of the feelings. They are something truly special. This song is something truly special.
I wept for the first time in years listening to this song today. It wasn't the song that made me weep, life made me weep. I guess listening to this music helped validate the tears. These words convinced me I wasn't weak. Its comforting to know life confuses us all and neither of us are alone in this bedlam.
why do i feel like crying and why do i find comfort every time i listen to this song. I'm actually battling betrayal from my partner. Although I have forgiven him, the wounds are still here and i'm praying to God to heal me... please pray for me
In a world that has shown me way too much fear... I choose to live a life that is not of this world. Where the choice is mine at every turn to take the road less traveled and choose LOVE... Gods LOVE... this is WHERE I BELONG!
This song always reminds me of my mom who I lost in 2011 from cancer. I can’t help but cry every time this song comes on (even when I see them play it live!). Mom, this ones for you! I miss you and love you so much!
I remember I left my childhood church after being there for my whole life and they played this song just for my family....3 years later and it still makes me cry....ONE LAST TIME
Great end to a well thought out album - this last song looks at heaven as the place we belong, giving the other side of the argument laid out in the first track, Afterlife, wrapping up the 'Vice Verses', the binaries of life
It's 2024 and Switchfoot still has my heart. The words in each song are so healing. Love alone is worth the fight❤ I came back to Jesus a while ago but the songs heal my broken heart. Love you always ❤
My beloved hero, my dad passed away Jan 9th, his bride of 57 years died six months earlier. Mom and Dad, I dedicate this song to you: You are now home where you belong.
Feels like we're just waiting, waiting While are hearts are just breaking, breaking Feels like we've been fighting against the tide The truth in these words makes me feel like the pain and struggles of myself & my loved ones are understood... even shared, at least by this band. I think these guys really know; they really feel like we all feel. So good.
This song has been my anthem since my grandfather passed away last December. It perfectly describes his state of mind, during his life and right before the end. He was longing to meet the Lord whom he had so gracefully served. Then 2020 turned its ugly head, and we all know what happened. It feels like we're nearing the end, and Where I Belong has continued to be a source of comfort, encouragement and support. Thank you so much, Switchfoot, for this magnificent song!
When I listen to this song, I just remember the time I used to go to work early in the morning (2013), I had to be at the bus stop at 4.45 am to take the bus (418). It was dark and the crowd in the bus was just annoying. But just after leaving the bus terminal, the bus used to drive up a hill of another neighborhood. So a girl would get into the bus. She was so beautiful, with brown eyes, a short black hair and a magic smile. So everything that was terrible, depressive and sad turned into a paradise. I loved that time so much. What a happiness getting up too early to see that girl. Unfortunately, after some months, I moved to another state and did not see her since then. So I dedicate this part for her: "And when I reach the other side I want to look you in the eye And know that I've arrived In a world where I belong"
I'm right here where I belong for such a time as this in Tyler Texas fasting, praying , crying , praising , singing through the seasons of this life. All in one accord we must be .
Una de mis canciones favoritas de Switchfoot, se me mueve todo por dentro al leer su letra después de tantos errores pero saber donde esta mi identidad, cuando vea a Dios a los ojos
I had never heard Switchfoot before except songs here and there on the radio. They opened with this song when opening for NEEDTOBREATHE this Friday and it touched something elemental within me. It only took about ten seconds of following the lyrics and the powerful choir vocals to realize how special of a song it was. Now reading the lyrics while listening from home, it just means even more. I’m probably going to be purchasing this album and a few more as a result.
Switchfoot has made an impact in my spiritual life. I love the fact that they can sing and make sense to this life in there lyrics. My hope is that I’m able to stand when my time comes, I’m dealing with a lot of issues. But I’m not giving up, my hope is in The Risen one. Pray for me as I continue to walk out my faith. Your prayers mean much. Thank you switchfoot for continuing to stand for Jesus. He is coming soon. Let’s hope that he will come soon for his church, Praise Jesus!
Still waiting for someone to hug me, and tell me everything is gonna be ok. Growing up is realizing that things never will be, but saying it anyways... because people need that. Feeling rather empty today... growing older, with 40 on the horizon... and still feeling like a kid who needs something. I'm really trying lately, to be who my family needs, but I just feel so... burnt. The world is fall apart, and I'm still sitting here... holding my family together. But man... I sure could use something to reassure me.
I got to talk to Caleb Hyles (great singer and even better person) while at a convention, and we both mentioned how much we love this group. He's covered Looking For America, and said he wished he could cover them more, but they're so relatively unknown.... but at least we've both gone to see Switchfoot live twice.
I shared these moments with my best friend while we were in college 8 years back when we discovered this song and this band. Since then a lot has changed and we have grown a lot together. He is still my best friend, but he has moved to a different continent altogether, is married now and is soon planning to have kids for which I am also very excited. Thanks to the wonders of video-calling apps, we are able to talk almost every day or so and can share our life stories with him and his family. We even attended a Switchfoot concert together after 2-3 years of graduating because that's how much this band and this song mean to us. But still whenever I listen to this song, it takes me back to those days when we both were in our dorms, were carefree for the world, were always humming and singing this together or even simply enjoying this song in silence while we were finishing our assignments. This song makes me realize how lucky I am to have gotten a fucking best friend like that in my life. This song reminds me that there are things in life that will always keep on changing but there are some other things as well that will never change no matter how tough it gets. Hold on to those things. It will be worth all the efforts!
*two thumbs up*. I've moved a lot in my childhood, and still haven't really settled down yet. But I know that this world is only a free trail of what comes next!
this was the last song i played with a good friend of mine. we were sort of in a band, and now that he’s gone the words mean so much more to me now than they did then. music always lives on, wether we die or not. our songs will always live on. RIP Brady.
Ron Dunbar i know for sure he’s up there in Heaven discussing his favorite bands with God 😂😂 and he also finally has the guitar he’s always dreamed of getting.
it's beyond us to really know what that is like but i'm very happy the Lord allows us to speculate. no matter what we can come up with, it will pale in comparison to what it is. worshiping Jesus will be the focus no doubt that we can be assured of. everything after that is up to Him. stay strong Shalom.
This is was me and my dad’s favorite band. Jon Forman came to play at our church vineyard one time. Nicest guy he stayed afterwards just walking Around talking with people. The only words my dad could muster up to John was i raised my kids on all your music. He died last year right when my wife Became pregnant. Now I’ll raise my son on this thanks for all the inspiring music you guys have impacted my life greatly!
God please help the world realize your power and your love. Let us worship your holy name and treat each other how you would want us too. For those who have passed away today and will in the near future, please grant them safe passage into heaven if they knew your love. Amen 🙏
Feeling like a refugee Like you don't belong to me The colors flash across the sky This air feels strange to me Feeling like a tragedy I take a deep breath and close my eyes One last time One last time Storms on the wasteland Dark clouds on the plains again We were born into the fight But I'm not sentimental This skin and bones is a rental And no one makes it out alive Until I die I'll sing these songs On the shores of Babylon Still looking for a home In a world where I belong Where the weak are finally strong Where the righteous right the wrongs Still looking for a home In a world where I belong Feels like we're just waiting, waiting While are hearts are just breaking, breaking Feels like we've been fighting against the tide I wanna see the earth start shaking I wanna see a generation Finally waking up inside Until I die I'll sing these songs On the shores of Babylon Still looking for a home In a world where I belong Where the weak are finally strong Where the righteous right the wrongs Still looking for a home In a world where I belong A world where I belong This body's not my home This world is not my own But I still can hear the sound Of my heart beating out So let's go boys, play it loud And on that final day I die I want to hold my head up high I want to tell you that I tried To live it like a song And when I reach the other side I want to look you in the eye And know that I've arrived In a world where I belong In a world where I belong In a world where I belong Where I belong Where I belong Where I belong Where I belong I still believe we can live forever You and I we begin forever now Forever now Forever I still believe in us together You and I we're here together now Together now Forever now Forever now Forever now Forever Forever
Before I lost my faith, Switchfoot was one of my favorites. They are still so good to hear but I feel like we're friends that grew apart. Kinda makes me sad in a way. I absolutely love their music and it's still very moving. I no longer believe in heaven but this sentiment is beautiful. Only makes me live life to the fullest I can because like the song says "no one is getting out alive"
This is the first song I remember completely falling in love with it is truly an art song....Chad's drums make the heartbeat at the end and if you study classical music the music always tells the story of the lyrics....plus in 2006 I took 250 barbiturates bc of a cocaine addiction and I heard Gods voice for the first and only time He told me Child you have done wrong things life does not belong to you....I ask for forgiveness and despite being locked alone in a house alone....IM STILL HERE....so these skin and bones are a rental.....I love y'all and the fact that you dont just associate with Christians bc Jesus said that the church is for the sick not just for the well....thank you for spreading love and reminding me not to be bitter....much love❤❤❤ never give up anybody and I'm talking to myself as well

"And I'm not sentimental
This skin and bones is a rental"
I have always loved that line
“In the end, everyone is aware of this:
nobody keeps any of what he has,
and life is only a borrowing of bones.”

So true, great testimony and I agree 100%. God bless you David. Enjoy your Sunday brother. We know this world is only temporary. Amen.

I will be with you;

"Feeling like a refugee, like you don't belong to me..." Oh no man... the feels... THE FEELS! *Tears up a little*
"When I reach the other side, I want to look you in the eye and know that I've arrived in a world where I belong."
In a world that has shown me way too much fear... I choose to live a life that is not of this world. Where the choice is mine at every turn to take the road less traveled and choose LOVE... Gods LOVE... this is WHERE I BELONG!
This song always reminds me of my mom who I lost in 2011 from cancer. I can’t help but cry every time this song comes on (even when I see them play it live!). Mom, this ones for you! I miss you and love you so much!
I watched them play this live the other day. Still my favorite song. Was the most memorable moment of the night
This has to be one of my favorite songs from you all.
True story. It just sums up everything Switchfoot has ever produced.
listen to You
Switchfoot really has the potential to be a much more popular band. They deserve it too. I mean, just listen to their music
Captin Murphy musicians that make real and meaningful songs will never be a hit... there are some exceptions but it's almost the rule :P
+toshi davila chinen Sadly
very true
They really do. Their music is so amazing...
+Captin Murr extremely true. but it seems that the world prefers fluffed up, crude, and meaningless, generic pop/rock...
Still here. So many memories. Love these artists.
...this band continues to heal me.
I remember I left my childhood church after being there for my whole life and they played this song just for my family....3 years later and it still makes me cry....ONE LAST TIME
Great end to a well thought out album - this last song looks at heaven as the place we belong, giving the other side of the argument laid out in the first track, Afterlife, wrapping up the 'Vice Verses', the binaries of life
It's 2024 and Switchfoot still has my heart. The words in each song are so healing. Love alone is worth the fight❤ I came back to Jesus a while ago but the songs heal my broken heart. Love you always ❤
Everyone and anyone out there, clean your mind, soul and freshen up with the feeling that we will all meet someday.
:)
Your words touched my soul..it will happen.....I believe
Hello Hemant
My beloved hero, my dad passed away Jan 9th, his bride of 57 years died six months earlier. Mom and Dad, I dedicate this song to you: You are now home where you belong.
💙
❤️
Feels like we're just waiting, waiting
While are hearts are just breaking, breaking
Feels like we've been fighting against the tide
The truth in these words makes me feel like the pain and struggles of myself & my loved ones are understood... even shared, at least by this band. I think these guys really know; they really feel like we all feel. So good.
This song has been my anthem since my grandfather passed away last December. It perfectly describes his state of mind, during his life and right before the end. He was longing to meet the Lord whom he had so gracefully served.
Then 2020 turned its ugly head, and we all know what happened. It feels like we're nearing the end, and Where I Belong has continued to be a source of comfort, encouragement and support. Thank you so much, Switchfoot, for this magnificent song!
Still rocking in 2022
When I listen to this song, I just remember the time I used to go to work early in the morning (2013), I had to be at the bus stop at 4.45 am to take the bus (418). It was dark and the crowd in the bus was just annoying. But just after leaving the bus terminal, the bus used to drive up a hill of another neighborhood. So a girl would get into the bus. She was so beautiful, with brown eyes, a short black hair and a magic smile. So everything that was terrible, depressive and sad turned into a paradise. I loved that time so much. What a happiness getting up too early to see that girl. Unfortunately, after some months, I moved to another state and did not see her since then. So I dedicate this part for her: "And when I reach the other side
I want to look you in the eye
And know that I've arrived
In a world where I belong"
This is one of the most real comments on here.. Thanks for sharing your story fren..
Have a wonderful day.. =)
Caleb Camero thank you for reading it! =)

I hope you find happiness again..
why did i just start crying while reading this :( FIND HAPPINESS SOON BROTHER :(
I'm right here where I belong for such a time as this in Tyler Texas fasting, praying , crying , praising , singing through the seasons of this life. All in one accord we must be .
The Beautiful Letdown+ This is Home+ Afterlife = Where I Belong
+Sam Davidson exactly
Lot of big memories listening to this. Some of them sad, some of them happy. What a song
Just started listening to switchfoot. I like their music.
What a brilliant song by one of my most fav bands
Listen to this, and then listen to This Is Home. They go hand in hand. Both great songs. Fantastic band and Jon is amazing.
+DannieJ and The Setting Sun :)
2024 and I'm holding my two months old baby singing so he can know that there is a kingdom where we are welcome.
One of my Favorite Switchfoot Songs
Una de mis canciones favoritas de Switchfoot, se me mueve todo por dentro al leer su letra después de tantos errores pero saber donde esta mi identidad, cuando vea a Dios a los ojos
I felt the vibrations in my body
I had never heard Switchfoot before except songs here and there on the radio. They opened with this song when opening for NEEDTOBREATHE this Friday and it touched something elemental within me. It only took about ten seconds of following the lyrics and the powerful choir vocals to realize how special of a song it was. Now reading the lyrics while listening from home, it just means even more.
I’m probably going to be purchasing this album and a few more as a result.
Switchfoot has made an impact in my spiritual life. I love the fact that they can sing and make sense to this life in there lyrics. My hope is that I’m able to stand when my time comes, I’m dealing with a lot of issues. But I’m not giving up, my hope is in The Risen one. Pray for me as I continue to walk out my faith. Your prayers mean much. Thank you switchfoot for continuing to stand for Jesus. He is coming soon. Let’s hope that he will come soon for his church, Praise Jesus!
Still waiting for someone to hug me, and tell me everything is gonna be ok. Growing up is realizing that things never will be, but saying it anyways... because people need that. Feeling rather empty today... growing older, with 40 on the horizon... and still feeling like a kid who needs something. I'm really trying lately, to be who my family needs, but I just feel so... burnt. The world is fall apart, and I'm still sitting here... holding my family together. But man... I sure could use something to reassure me.
I got to talk to Caleb Hyles (great singer and even better person) while at a convention, and we both mentioned how much we love this group. He's covered Looking For America, and said he wished he could cover them more, but they're so relatively unknown.... but at least we've both gone to see Switchfoot live twice.
I shared these moments with my best friend while we were in college 8 years back when we discovered this song and this band. Since then a lot has changed and we have grown a lot together. He is still my best friend, but he has moved to a different continent altogether, is married now and is soon planning to have kids for which I am also very excited. Thanks to the wonders of video-calling apps, we are able to talk almost every day or so and can share our life stories with him and his family. We even attended a Switchfoot concert together after 2-3 years of graduating because that's how much this band and this song mean to us.
But still whenever I listen to this song, it takes me back to those days when we both were in our dorms, were carefree for the world, were always humming and singing this together or even simply enjoying this song in silence while we were finishing our assignments. This song makes me realize how lucky I am to have gotten a fucking best friend like that in my life. This song reminds me that there are things in life that will always keep on changing but there are some other things as well that will never change no matter how tough it gets. Hold on to those things. It will be worth all the efforts!
perfect song to listen to when ever i'm feeling down
Evey line of this song is a legend
♪ Quiero ver la tierra temblar, quiero ver una generación finalmente despertando por dentro. Hasta el día que muera, cantaré estas canciones ♪
DIOS ES GRANDE
*two thumbs up*. I've moved a lot in my childhood, and still haven't really settled down yet. But I know that this world is only a free trail of what comes next!
This track has been so meaningful for me here at the start of 2022. Thank you Foremans, thank you SF. Let's live for heaven.
This is great.. Deeply i feel in my heart
Switchfoot-Where I Belong, what a great song!
this is one of my favorite songs it has helped me get through alot of bad times
this was the last song i played with a good friend of mine. we were sort of in a band, and now that he’s gone the words mean so much more to me now than they did then. music always lives on, wether we die or not. our songs will always live on. RIP Brady.
sorry for your loss my friend. i'm sure he's playing something right now. may the Lord bless. Shalom.
Ron Dunbar i know for sure he’s up there in Heaven discussing his favorite bands with God 😂😂 and he also finally has the guitar he’s always dreamed of getting.
it's beyond us to really know what that is like but i'm very happy the Lord allows us to speculate. no matter what we can come up with, it will pale in comparison to what it is. worshiping Jesus will be the focus no doubt that we can be assured of. everything after that is up to Him. stay strong Shalom.
This song makes my anxiety go away...
I too have anxiety issues. But when I listen to this piece . My heart and soul gets in control
yup
sing it raise that banner
Yeah, it’s really calming.😊
Seems like everyone has anxiety
Listened a lot to this my senior year when it can out! Good memories!
One of my favourite songs of all time! ❤️
Yess! Their passion for the Lord is beautiful 🌺
I LOVE THIS SONG ♥ The musical composition of this is just.....👏 Like you wanna get lost in it.
I Love Switchfoot ❤
This is was me and my dad’s favorite band. Jon Forman came to play at our church vineyard one time. Nicest guy he stayed afterwards just walking Around talking with people. The only words my dad could muster up to John was i raised my kids on all your music. He died last year right when my wife Became pregnant. Now I’ll raise my son on this thanks for all the inspiring music you guys have impacted my life greatly!
I will forever love this song and the fact that Josh has lyrics in his bio makes my life so much better
This song's deep! Love Switchfoot to the core.
God please help the world realize your power and your love. Let us worship your holy name and treat each other how you would want us too. For those who have passed away today and will in the near future, please grant them safe passage into heaven if they knew your love.
Amen 🙏
Back here in 2024.... and will listen to this life long....
one of my favorite songs of this beautiful band!! greetings from MEXICO :)
love it! GREAT SONG
Yes. Were still here. Still listening and still hearing..
Feeling like a refugee
Like you don't belong to me
The colors flash across the sky
This air feels strange to me
Feeling like a tragedy
I take a deep breath and close my eyes
One last time
One last time
Storms on the wasteland
Dark clouds on the plains again
We were born into the fight
But I'm not sentimental
This skin and bones is a rental
And no one makes it out alive
Until I die I'll sing these songs
On the shores of Babylon
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong
Where the weak are finally strong
Where the righteous right the wrongs
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong
Feels like we're just waiting, waiting
While are hearts are just breaking, breaking
Feels like we've been fighting against the tide
I wanna see the earth start shaking
I wanna see a generation
Finally waking up inside
Until I die I'll sing these songs
On the shores of Babylon
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong
Where the weak are finally strong
Where the righteous right the wrongs
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong
A world where I belong
This body's not my home
This world is not my own
But I still can hear the sound
Of my heart beating out
So let's go boys, play it loud
And on that final day I die
I want to hold my head up high
I want to tell you that I tried
To live it like a song
And when I reach the other side
I want to look you in the eye
And know that I've arrived
In a world where I belong
In a world where I belong
In a world where I belong
Where I belong
Where I belong
Where I belong
Where I belong
I still believe we can live forever
You and I we begin forever now
Forever now
Forever
I still believe in us together
You and I we're here together now
Together now
Forever now
Forever now
Forever now
Forever
Forever
:)
I am crying when i hear the song
@@kawaiiunicorngirlgameplayz318 me too. I don't know why.
Thank you. Hey you're loved more than you could ever know.Jesus got you.
Forever Lord God Almighty creator
Thank you gentlemen! I so appreciate you!
this band lead me to paradise of love....
I completely forgot how much I love this band.... Thank you.
Heaven is where we belong
Before I lost my faith, Switchfoot was one of my favorites. They are still so good to hear but I feel like we're friends that grew apart. Kinda makes me sad in a way. I absolutely love their music and it's still very moving. I no longer believe in heaven but this sentiment is beautiful. Only makes me live life to the fullest I can because like the song says "no one is getting out alive"
Praying find your faith again.
Jesus, bring him again to You, Quick! Thank You!
I just cried! These guys are the best
Who’s ready to celebrate 10 years of this album. 😢
This song means alot to me!!
this song is just so beautiful and so meaningful♥
This is the first song I remember completely falling in love with it is truly an art song....Chad's drums make the heartbeat at the end and if you study classical music the music always tells the story of the lyrics....plus in 2006 I took 250 barbiturates bc of a cocaine addiction and I heard Gods voice for the first and only time He told me Child you have done wrong things life does not belong to you....I ask for forgiveness and despite being locked alone in a house alone....IM STILL HERE....so these skin and bones are a rental.....I love y'all and the fact that you dont just associate with Christians bc Jesus said that the church is for the sick not just for the well....thank you for spreading love and reminding me not to be bitter....much love❤❤❤ never give up anybody and I'm talking to myself as well
Here in 2020, can’t let this die.
