I Never Learned That Song 

Like a lost soul 
Living in an foreign body
Coming from a different world
People around, seems good at this thing called life
I’m hiding in my cave
My quiet place 
Drowning in my tears
Feeding my fears

Come take me away
take me off the world today
I’m longing for home
in the world where I came from
Or let me belong here
cause I wanna sing that song
that everyone seems to know
but I can’t sing along
‘Cause I never learned that song

Hold my heart
Let me in your life
and teach me how to live
Teach me with love and kindness
That’s all I need
Just be yourself they said
Simple as that
Didn’t know what they meant 
‘Cause this “self” I‘ve never met

Come take me away
take me off the world today
I’m longing for home
in the world where I came from
Or let me belong here
cause I wanna sing that song
that everyone seems to know
but I can’t sing along
‘Cause I never learned that song


I’m running away from my cave today 
To this blue painted mountain
Snowflakes all cover my tears
I see a light that was gone too long and I fall with the snow
I open my hand and find this white little land

Come take me away
take me off the world today
I’m longing for home
in the world where I came from
Or let me belong here
cause I wanna sing that song
that everyone seems to know
but I can’t sing along
‘Cause I never learned that song

Come take me away
take me off the world today
I’m longing for home
in the world where I came from
Or let me belong here
cause I wanna sing that song
that everyone seems to know
but I can’t sing along
‘Cause I never learned that song
