Music Monday: "Outcast" by Kerrie Roberts

I've been a fan of Kerrie Roberts since I heard her first single on the radio. She's an amazing Christian artist who shares a great message with her fun and fresh contemporary sound! I just recently discovered this video of "Outcast" from her self-titled debut album. It speaks to the fact that as Christians, we're not going to fit in with the "world." We're going to "look different," and that's okay. I hope you enjoy it!  Click to read my short and sweet review!

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." Romans 12:2



Since I can remember
Guess I've been a problem
Never had a filter
Never been the popular one
To sugarcoat what I know is undeniable
I just can't hide it
I wear it like a letter

Everywhere I go
Everyone is talking
I can feel them staring
They hope I'm just pretending
And giving up my power
Caving into pressure
I'm not living for them
I live for something better

I'm not good enough
I'm not what they want
But let me tell you what
I know who I am
So just throw me out
For not fitting in
I will stand my ground
And be an outcast

So-o what if I'm an outcast
So-o what if I'm an outcast

So what if I don't look the
Part I'm supposed to play
What if I don't follow
All the rules they make
They think I should be perfect
They love it when I mess up
No grace in case I blow it
A good girl shouldn't need it

I'm not good enough
I'm not what they want
But let me tell you what
I know who I am
So just throw me out
For not fitting in
I will stand my ground
And be an outcast

So-o what if I'm an outcast
So-o what if I'm an outcast
So slow and everybody's so fast
So-o what if I'm an outcast

I try to play nice
I don't want to fight
But I won't be gray
When it's all black and white
'Cause what I believe
Is what makes me strong
If I don't belong
I'll hold on to love

I try to play nice
I don't want to fight
But I won't be gray
When it's all black and white
'Cause what I believe
Is what makes me strong
If I don't belong
I'll hold on to love

So-o what if I'm an outcast
So-o what if I'm an outcast
So slow and everybody's so fast
No matter what it costs
I'll be an outcast

I'm not good enough
I'm not what they want
But let me tell you what
I know who I am
So just throw me out
For not fitting in
I'm gonna stand my ground
And be an outcast

I'm not good enough
I'm not what they want
And let me tell you what
I know who I am
So just throw me out
For not fitting in
I will stand my ground
And be an outcast

  1. I think we have a similar taste in music - this is another of my favorites. A great running song, not that I run, but I do move a bit faster when this one is on:)
