Well, I'm gonna buy sunglasses
Because the future looks so bright
Leave the evil ways of this old world behind
Now I understand these streets
Are mearly made of stone
This is the house my family raised
Where I've grown

(chorus)
I know now, I understand
That this is not my home
I said I know now, I understand
From deep within my soul
Lord I know that this is not my home

I want to fill this darkness
With your ever loving light
Shake the wrong foundation
Of this world with right
I don't need to live in a mansion
Covet pearls and gold
Besides I'd have to leave it all behind me
When I'm gone

(chorus)

(repeat first verse)

But I know now, I understand
That this is not my home
Lord I said I know now, I understand
From deep within my soul
I know now, I understand
that this is not my home
Lord I said I know now, I understand
From deep within my soul
Lord I know that this is not my home
This is not my home
