I wonder why they look at me strange
Like I don't belong on this row
I'm trying to figure out if I'm staying
Cuz I don't feel welcome here
I know I'm not dressed like everyone else
And I don't own a pair of church shoes
But I'm here because I needed some help
I'm starting to think that I made a bad move
But if they give me the chance
I only want to make it to the altar to see the man
That's why I came today to change my ways
And I am not ashamed but they're pushing me away
I heard that church was the place to come for my healing
But somehow I cant see how that's so
Everyone seems to be so uneasy
Maybe its the way I look I'm unsure
If they give me the chance
I only want to make it to the altar to see the man
That's why I came today to change my ways
I am not ashamed
I don't care what they think of me
Cuz I I'm were I belong
Right now I want to be set free
And find my heart a home
If they give me the chance
I only want to make it to the altar to see the man
That's why I came today to change my ways
And I am not ashamed
