lyrics

V.1

I remember the days when I was ten

I went to sheul that’s all I ever knew

I felt so alive with traditions of old

A community of faith it felt like home

There were kids my age who could relate

To the issues I had of having two faiths

Both Christian and Jew then it felt so right

I know about then but what about now?

Ch.

Who am I where do I belong I’m a Christian Jew in a misplaced world

Who am I where do I belong I’m a misplaced Jew in a Christian world.

V.2

I went to Bible school it was the thing to do

It didn’t take long till I knew something was wrong

I was the first living Jew that my friends ever met

Like a dinosaur back from the stone age

I know I didn’t fit but I wondered this

Where had my identity gone

What was I now what had I become?

A WASP washed Jew in a WASP washed world

Ch.

Who am I where do I belong I’m a Christian Jew in a misplaced world

Who am I where do I belong I’m a misplaced Jew in a Christian world.

I’m a Christian Jew in a misplaced world

I’m a misplaced Jew in a Christian world
