This is "Outside Looking In" from Neal's 'Question Mark' album. The words of this song came to my mind while we were in India working with the Dalit people.. a people who truly are 'outside looking in'.
Oh, I'm outside looking in(They make it look easy to love and be happy)
Yes, I'm outside looking in(I'm cast out and ugly and nobody loves me)
Oh, nobody knows me now I'm outside looking in
(The beautiful city – they all seem so happy)
Oh, nobody sees the ones outside looking in
(And everyone's pretty but I feel so ugly)
Oh, nobody knows me now As life goes on for them
I will stay here in my sin, 'Cause I'm outside looking in
While this piece ends on a somber note, on the album it leads into the reality that CHRIST has made a way for the outsider to enter into the 'Temple of the Living God', which is the heart of the believer...
