about

This song was created by all the youth in our Proskuneo Arts and Worldview program. From graphic cover design, to audio recording, vocals, songwriting, playing instruments, choir and spoken word parts; it was co-created together from start to end.

We pray it is a blessing to you and your community and wherever you are today, may you know that you BELONG HERE and that we can create, hold and receive safe space together.

lyrics

Verse 1: Take me back to where I used to be
Before I was uprooted from familiarity
Traces of my story faded into memory
Different places, different spaces, all these
Changes make me wonder...

Chorus:
Do I belong here? (Do I belong here?)
Can I belong here? (Can I belong here?)
Will I belong here? (Will I belong here?)
Could this place become my home? (all together)


Verse 2:
Through the door of an unfamiliar house
I hear laughter, conversation from an overfull couch
There’s an unexpected welcome in the meal’s familiar smell
Different places, different spaces, still these changes
make me wonder

Chorus:
Do I belong here? (Do I belong here?)
Can I belong here? (Can I belong here?)
Will I belong here? (Will I belong here?)
Could this place please be my home?

Pre Chorus:
Different places, different spaces, but now
I don’t have to wonder

Last chorus:
Choir singing all in 8 languages "I belong here"
(Zomi) (Karenni) (Arabic) (Tigrinya) (Korean) (Spanish) (Karen)
