Backdrop by the city
It was where I laid my head
I lived with the needy
I've cried out for bread
I've searched these streets
And I wondered through the dark
Looking for a Heaven
You were here with me all along
I was never alone, yeah
You are my home, yeah
I was never alone, yeah
You are my home, yeah
In fear and in triumph, I know belong
In victory and silence, I believe I am known
Though nothing makes sense here
You are always there
I found my brightest arrow
It shoots straight through the heart
Straight through the heart
I've lived like an orphan
I have lived as a son
I've knelt before idols
And I have sold Your home
I am never alone, yeah
You are my home, yeah
I am never alone, yeah
You are my home, yeah
Never alone, never alone
I'm never alone
I'm never alone
I'm never alone
You are my home
Tell me, tell me
Is there a place
Where it's beginning to look like Heaven?
Tell me, oh, tell me
Is there a place
Where it's beginning to look like Heaven?
