Time is like a grain of sand
On the beaches, of eternity
But here we're toiling planning
Like we'll never leave
Yeah I know Your fire is coming
What will stand the flames
Will Your return find me running
Or blind and lame
Chorus
I've gotta say that I've lived
Too many days like I belong here
It's not home
I'm shocked to see the measure
Of where I've been storing treasure
It's not home
I'm not home here
(2X)
The question's calling louder
Who do you believe
The answer lies upon the things to which we cleave
But I know You've gone ahead
To build a place for me
So I'll trust the things You said
Trust though I can't see
Chorus
It's not home
Have we believed the fiction (ah ah aah)
Authored by the world's depiction (ah ah aah) of how it is
Let's not forget the story (ah ah
a-ah)
We're living for His glory now
You laid it down, for me
So I lay it down, for You
(I'm not home here)
I've got to say that I've lived
(I'm not home here)
Too many days like I belong here
(I'm not home here)
It's not home
(It's not my home)
(I'm not home here)
I'm shocked to see the measure
(I'm not home here)
Of where I've been storing treasure
(I'm not home here)
It's not home
(It's not my home)
(I'm not home here)
(3X)
It's not my home
