Lyrics to “Right Where I Belong” by Claudia Carawan, Sloan Wainwright, & Sue Riley:Now, in this room full of smiling faces, I know I’ve found my home.
This is where joy lives. This is where love is. This is a place where I am strong.
This is where eyes meet, where kindred hearts beat. I am right where I belong.
Now that my heart is opened, there’s no place I’d rather be.
This is where joy lives. This is where love is. This is a place where I am strong.
This is where eyes meet, where kindred hearts beat. I am right where I belong!

I know I’ve found my home.
