NO COUNTRY

I feel the tremors, the rumors of war
Upon the surface of my door
And I’ve got no place to call my country
I’ve got no place to call my country anymore

I don’t have the tools to deal with this
I don’t have the drugs
And I’ve got no place to call my country
I’ve got no place to have my love anymore

Yeah, when the bomb went off
We were dancing in the kitchen with a neon cross
Yeah, baby I’m lost
I never saw it coming
Never thought I’d wake up
With no place to call my country
I’ve got no place to call my country
My country

I know everyone of us are hypocrites
Still I never thought that it would come to this
No place to love, no place to exist
I’ve got no place to raise my kids

All of my reserves are compromised
You can punch a hole in all my alibis
I know that I’m wrong
But you don’t know you're blind
Do you see me
Do you see me tonight

Yeah, when the bomb went off
We were dancing in the kitchen with a neon cross
Yeah, baby I’m lost
I never saw it coming
Never thought I’d wake up
With no place to call my country
I’ve got no place to call my country
My country
No place to call my country

I feel the tremors the rumors of war
Upon the surface of my door

Yeah, when the bomb went off
We were dancing in the kitchen with a neon cross
Yeah, when the call came back
I was standing in the shadow of a panic attack
Yeah, I don’t know where I’m at
And I never saw it coming
I never thought I’d wake up
With no place to call my country
I’ve got no place to call my country
My country
No place to call my country
My home
My home

I remember walking down the streets of Berlin listening to this on my headphones and laughing. I had sold everything I owned and moved to Germany but subsequently overstayed my tourist visa while waiting to interview for my visa. I was an illegal alien in a foreign country. I had nothing to go back to and nowhere to go. It was awesome. I was free--just me and Jesus. For the first time, this song made sense...

[briancattani]

Sad song but once I realized I had no place in america I got out and now I have a country I can call my home. Well sort of. Not a citizen but I like it here.

[floorshirts]

John Mark, I don't know if you read the comments or not but I want to write this to you. I just listened to this song for the first time today and I looped it and have been listening to it for at least an hour and a half. I want to thank you for reminder that while our country affairs effect us and the world we don't call this place our home, it's not our country. My favorite is, "When the bomb went off, we were dancing in the kitchen with a neon cross" In the midst of fear, anger, and sadness, The Cross brings light and joy. I'm looking forward to March.

You always hit the exposed nerves of my heart. When other believers just don't understand me, I find a kinship with your lyrics. Reminds me that I'm not alone. Thank you for your deep words that unsettle the dry believers.

[CalledByLove]

Every time I hear this song it reminds me of all of my beautiful refugee friends I met working in camps, and the gratitude they have despite all that they've gone through, even having no country to call their own. God bless Syria and Iraq! ❤️

[samcooper]

And I love the falsetto when you sing. "I feel the tremors of rumors of WAR." It's sick!

[imichealrayapah]

Beautiful song with powerful words. Lots of happening nowadays.True we do not recognize lots of countries on earth, all belong to the earth and their leaders speak as they are from earth and will be there permanently.They forget the one who comes form above is above all.The one who comes from heaven, our country is above all .

[imichealrayapah]

This is a powerful song with a vision .All the words turn to be prophetic .I do not recognize my homeland country as well as my adoptive country..Thus I have no place and space to call my country .I just raise my heart and mind and thanks God to accept my citizenship

[flowbrandz]

This song feels even more appropriate at the end of 2020

[Samson]

Hey John. Not sure if you will ever see this comment but i feel so related since many of us Hong Kongers will have to fleed our home soon to Canada or the UK...this song hits home

[jt]

Yes, this video does really capture a complicated mood very effectively. Love verse 2!
"I know that I'm wrong, but you don't know your blind. Do you see me? Do you see me at night?"

[wsmc]

Saw him last Thursday along with Josh Garrels. Both men are extremely passionate about refugees whose lives have been ripped apart by war and disaster. It is truly sad that our government is so reluctant to help these people.

[gomezfamilyteam]

WE NEEDED THIS SONG!!! Love the visuals. Always. JMM everything you do is Godsent

[karolinaservilha]

How can it be that this video don't have +1m views? It's fantastic!

[michaeljw]

I heard this song for the first time when you and Josh Garrels came to Milwaukee on the Revelators tour! It is definitely an anointed song and it really touched me! It was a pleasure to meet you and hopefully our paths will cross again. God bless you!

[fromthedoor]

This is still one of my favourite pieces of art.

[nickahmann]

John's the man, really looking forward to Mercury & Lightning.

[jeffsobolewski]

Absolutely love this. Thank you for deciding to keep making music..

[estebanpeverengo]

This video reminds me the movie Into The Wild, great job of the director.

[ridgebringger]

I appreciate the lyrics John, keep making music. It's really great.
