Anthem Lights' song "Stranger" expresses a deep sense of not belonging to this world and a longing for the return of Jesus. The lyrics describe feeling out of place, speaking the language but not understanding the culture, and eagerly waiting for the Son to come down. The singer acknowledges that true home is only found in God's presence, and they refuse to settle for earthly comforts. The song encourages believers to keep their eyes on the sky, ready for Christ's return, and to remember that they are just passing through. It's a hopeful anthem about heaven and the ultimate reunion with God.

Somewhere between where I started and right now
You caught my eye
Now all I can see
Is the distance that remains between You and I
In a land of settling
I can't seem to settle in
I am a stranger in this world, just passing through
Waiting on the Son to come down
Waiting on the Son to come down
I know that I will be on my way real soon
Waiting on the Son to come down
I won't be home 'til I'm with You
I won't be home 'til I'm with You, with You, with You
I don't belong
I speak the language but still I can't understand
What's going on
So I'm running to You just as fast as I can
Don't wanna settle in
This place is not my home
I am a stranger in this world, just passing through
Waiting on the Son to come down
Waiting on the Son to come down
I know that I will be on my way real soon
Waiting on the Son to come down
I won't be home 'til I'm with You
Gonna keep my eyes
Looking to the sky for You
The Son is on His way
And I wanna be ready
And I won�??t forget
I�??m not home �??til I�??m with You
The Son is on His way
I am a stranger in this world, just passing through
Waiting on the Son to come down
Waiting on the Son to come down
I know that I will be on my way real soon
Waiting on the Son to come down
I won't be home 'til I'm with You
[x2]
I am a stranger
I won't be home 'til I'm with You
I am a stranger
I won't be home 'til I'm with You
I am a stranger, a stranger
[x8]
