  • Sometimes I feel I don't belong here
    Sometimes I just don't feel
    I feel so uninvited
    A wound that never heals

    I need a little shelter
    Just for a little while
    Sometimes I have the silence
    Behind a driven smile

    If you can't see first door
    I will roll it away
    I will kneel at your throne
    Hold my hands up and pray

    I will hold back the time
    Push the oceans aside
    Save the day
    But I can't be stronger

    You're all that I am
    You're all that I see
    The keys to the kingdom
    Waiting for me

    So, don't move it back
    Don't hold me down
    Just hold me, and don't let go

    You're all that I am
    You're all that I do
    The end of the rainbow is waiting for you

    So tell me if I'm right,
    'Cause this can't be wrong
    Not if we belong

    Whatever happened to forgiveness
    Are the words too hard to say

    What happened to the answers
    They disappeared along the way

    I hide behind the madness
    Still looking for the clues

    And there's nothing left to chance
    When there's nothing left to lose

    And the voice in my head
    Screams the words I believe
    And the light in the dark
    Is the air that I breathe

    You're all that I am
    You're all that I see
    The keys to the kingdom
    Waiting for me
    So don't hold me back
    Don't hold me down
    Just hold me and don't let go
    You're all that I am
    You're all that I do
    The end of the rainbow
    Is waiting for you
    So tell me I'm right
    Cause this can't be wrong
    Back where we belong

    As you cast the first stone
    And I roll it away
    And I kneel at your throne
    These words that I say

    You're all that I am
    You're all that I see
    The keys to the kingdom
    Waiting for me
    So don't hold me back
    Don't hold me down
    Just hold me and don't let go
    You're all that I am
    You're all that I do
    The end of the rainbow
    Is waiting for you
    So tell me I'm right
    Cause this can't be wrong
    Not if we belong

    The keys to the kingdom
    Are waiting for me Writer/s: Joseph Elliott

  • Dr. Dave Caves from Mississippi1st heard this song during the acoustic section of Def Leppard's Las Vegas residency broadcast. Having worked with, for 35 years, troubled youth, I new that I had stumbled across a song of hope. While the sound is iconic Def Leppard,
    the lyrics have a hope filled spiritual connectivity. I'm thinking, "Could there a better way to introduce a new generation to my God and my favorite band?".
