[Verse 1:]
The feast is set before me,
It's on plates of platinum,
But all I taste is ashes, and my lips are turning numb,
The smiles in the beauty, and the promises I see,
Glory, hallelujah, never said it came for free.
Ring around the roses,
I see through your poses,
Ashes to ashes,
It all comes falling down.
[Pre-Chorus:]
I thought I would belong right here
When I was younger,
But there's something in the atmosphere,
Whispers of wonder.
[Chorus:]
I, I am a foreigner,
Got a fire in my soul, never giving up,
And I know I don't belong right here,
I know I don't belong right here,
Fight till I make it home,
But keep my eyes to the skies even if I don't,
And I know I don't belong right here,
I know I don't belong right here.
[Verse 2:]
Hold out your hand of riches and display your royalty,
I'm fine with my bloodline in a different dynasty.
Worship at the altar of your vanity,
I'll be in the Promised Land and let you be.
London bridge is falling down,
My fair lady holds her crown,
Ashes to ashes,
Where's your savior now?
[Pre-Chorus:]
I thought I would belong right here
When I was younger,
But there's something in the atmosphere,
Whispers of wonder.
[Chorus:]
I, I am a foreigner,
Got a fire in my soul, never giving up,
And I know I don't belong right here,
I know I don't belong right here,
Fight till I make it home,
But keep my eyes to the skies even if I don't,
And I know I don't belong right here,
I know I don't belong right here.
[Bridge:]
I, I fix my eyes,
On the island,
Heavens!
I, I fix my eyes,
On the island,
Heavens!
[Chorus:]
I, I am a foreigner,
Got a fire in my soul, never giving up,
And I know I don't belong right here,
I know I don't belong right here,
Fight till I make it home,
But keep my eyes to the skies even if I don't,
And I know I don't belong right here,
I know I don't belong right here.
