Outside Looking In

Here I am more or less a manSecond rate, the last in lineOne of life's little twists of fateBut here I standthe unaccepted man [Neh 1:9]At the temple gate...Sometimes I sit and wonder whyI was bornWhen everything that I touchSeems to turn out wrongThough I'm a mistakeThere must be a place I belongBut I'm outside looking in [Luke 15:14](Life looks so easy, they all seem so happy)Yes, I'm outside looking in(And everyone's pretty but I feel so ugly)I'm all alone without a friend'Cause I'm outside looking inThe plan was laidI guess I was made this way [Psa 51:5]I've tried beforebut I just can't seem to changeStill my heart longs to belongI wish there was a wayBut I'm outside looking in(The beautiful city – they all seem so happy) [Eph 2:21]Yes, I'm outside looking in(And everyone's pretty but I feel so ugly)The celebration will beginWhile I'm still outside looking inOh, I'm outside looking in [Gal 4:26](They make it look easy to love and be happy)Yes, I'm outside looking in(I'm cast out and ugly and nobody loves me)Oh, nobody knows me now I'm outside looking in(The beautiful city – they all seem so happy) [Num 24:5]Oh, nobody sees the ones outside looking in(And everyone's pretty but I feel so ugly)Oh, nobody knows me nowAs life goes on for themI will stay here in my sin'Cause I'm outside looking in
