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
