where I belong well, I have found that I must be the hound enslaved cause my hands and my feet they are bound to the ground and I struggle to sing just one sound so thank you for singing this song for showing me wrong is where I belong I’m in a haze yet I’m filled with this rage encaged by the intricate maze on this stage and I’m dazed as I page through my wage on the blaze and thank you for singing this song for showing me wrong is where I belong I smell the mace so I cover my face in case in my haste I can trace the harsh taste is my pace in this race is it all just a waste yes, thank you for singing this song for showing me wrong is where I belong in homage to M. Gore

Where I Belong (sung as a song) Janet Kuypers written in 1997, expanded to song format 2/19/16 well, I have found that I must be the hound enslaved cause my hands and my feet they are bound to the ground and I struggle to sing just one sound I’m in a haze yet I’m filled with this rage encaged by the intricate maze on this stage and I’m dazed as I page through my wage on this blaze so I thank you by singing these tears and singing these thruths through all of these years because I know now that wrong is where I belong I smell the mace so I cover my face in case in my haste I can trace the harsh taste is my pace in this race is it all just a waste but I’ll thank you by singing these tears and singing these thruths through all of these years ‘cause I know that wrong is where I belong pain’s my home I’ve always known from my first breath I tried in vain to abstain from this pain I’ve trained on my brain to refrain from this strain it’s insane ‘cause this game can’t explain what I’ve gained ‘cause I thank you by singing these tears and singing these thruths through all of these years because I know now that wrong is where I belong Copyright Janet Kuypers.
