	Oh wao-oh, Oh wao-oh Oh wao-oh, Oh wao-oh Oh wao-oh, Oh wao-oh Oh wao-oh, Oh wao-oh Longing for my home I really wanna see My heart-land getting closer now Longing for my home Longing for my home My soul is crying out The wounds are getting deeper Longing for my home All I have, has been given to me No room for pretending I’ve made this all happen The gift of Your grace is so free I know that this journey has days hard to swallow And sifting the right from the wrong My soul’s deepest longings are no match for You Cos in You I am where I belong Longing as I roam No time for standing still These feet were made for walking now Longing as I roam Longing as I roam Lord, let your kingdom come We’re dying for your freedom Longing as I roam All I have, has been given to me No room for pretending I’ve made this all happen The gift of Your grace is so free I know that this journey has days hard to swallow And sifting the right from the wrong My soul’s greatest heartaches are no match for You Cos in You I am where I belong Hate Thrives When We Feed Its Lies Let’s Choose Love In The Most High Longing as I go I know I’ve found The Way, I’m choosing to walk in it now Longing as I go Longing as I go The Truth is calling out, now Life is breathing through me Longing as I go All I have, has been given to me No room for pretending I’ve made this all happen The gift of Your grace is so free I know that this journey has days hard to swallow And sifting the right from the wrong I know that these troubles are no match for You Cos in You I am where I belong Longing as I know My hope has not been chained to merely what I’m seeing now Longing as I know Longing as I know My home is where You are and we will be together Longing as I know

about

Belong is the 2nd single ahead of Dr. J's 3rd album, Journey.

Folloing on from the nu-disco/soulful deep house of 'Forever', Belong features some more familiar production from Dr. J, blending a bass-heavy hip-hop sound with his new found love for filmscore and field recording. Expect deep soul, that makes your head nod and your heart sing.

Written orignally as a short demo for a different project, Belong was birthed in London as an attempt to fuse that 90's hip-hop sound with string orchestration. It took shape via ruminations on the themes of homecoming, heaven and racism while talking to a friend about where it could go. In the wake of the UK'S 2016 referendum, things that seemed like 'a given' suddenly became less certain and something that seemed to be very much part of Britain's past has become evidently front-and-centre in recent months and years.

Belong, charts a journey involving personal wrestles with racist abuse in light of faith in Jesus and how the hope of heaven shapes his response to it all.
