♪♪♪ SING ALONG ♪♪♪ as a piano plays the chords and melody (from the SOLO Edition of the Secular Hymnal). Singing along to a simple, chorded melody like this is an ideal way to develop your harmonizing skills!

Lyrics:

To find a place where they accept my face
And where they let me run an even race

Running and running as a refugee
I'm running and running, running to be free
To find a place where they accept my face
And where they let me run an even race

Just out of prison, trying to advance
I'm hoping and hoping for a second chance
To find a place where they accept my face
And where they let me run an even race

Once I was married, now I am alone
I'm searching and searching for a place called "home"
To find a place where they accept my face
And where they let me run an even race
