Here I am more or less a man

Second rate, the last in line

One of life’s little twists of f ate

But here I stand

the unaccepted man [Neh 1:9]

At the temple gate. ..

Sometimes I sit and wonder why

I was born

When everything that I touch

Seems to turn out wrong

Though I’m a mistake

There must be a place I belong

But I’m outside looking in [Luke 15:14]

(Life looks so easy, they all seem so h appy)

Yes, I’m outside looking i n

(And everyone’s pretty but I feel so u gly)

I’m all alone without a fr iend

’Cause I’m outside looking i n

The plan was laid

I guess I was m ade this way [Psa 51:5]

I’ve tr ied before

but I just can’t seem to ch ange

Still my heart longs to belong

I wish there was a w ay

But I’m outside looking i n

(The beautiful city – they all seem so ha ppy) [Eph 2:21]

Yes, I’m outside looking i n

(And everyone’s pretty but I feel so u gly)

The celebration will be gin

While I’m still outside looking i n

Oh, I’m outside looking i n [Gal 4:26]

(They make it look easy to love and be h appy)

Yes, I’m outside looking i n

(I’m cast out and ugly and nobody lo ves me)

Oh, nobody knows me now I’m outside looking i n

(The beautiful city – they all seem so h appy) [Num 24:5]

Oh, nobody sees the ones outside looking i n

(And everyone’s pretty but I feel so u gly)

Oh, nobody knows me now

As life goes on for t hem

I will stay here in my s in

’Cause I’m outside looking i n
