Can I break into your circle?
Will you let me in?
I’m looking for some friendship,
To be known for who I am.
This circle is unbroken,
has been so for many years:
A newcomer pays a visit
And discreetly disappears.
There’s lots of talk of love
and fellowship so sweet
But I feel like I’m a stranger
Alone out in the street.
I may not have charisma.
I’m quiet and even shy.
That doesn’t mean I’m aloof,
That you should pass me by.
I may not wear a smile,
I’m worn out by life’s demands.
I’m yearning for real unity,
A family that understands.
It’s hard to express my feelings
To open up and share my mind.
You penalize me for being me.
why are you so unkind?
You don’t want to get to know me:
Because I tell it like it is:
The treacherous world around us,
The times in which we live.
The Lord was a man of sorrows,
No laughter or making sport.
He recognized the pain of life,
And the numerous hearts that hurt.
Superficial chatter
Is as far as it ever goes
And the things that really matter,
No-one really knows.
Oh family of the living God
The hypocrisy makes Him cringe!
Don’t talk of love and fellowship
And ignore those on the fringe.
