C.S. Lewis Song Lyrics
The first verse is a close paraphrase of a C.S. Lewis quote from Mere Christianity: "If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world." This is the whole premise of the song, that we are not made for this world so we will hope and wait for the day of the Lord, which we are at the dawn of.
I love love love this song. I think the meaning is kind of obvious, but can be taken many ways, depending on what you want it to mean. :]
Life is too short to live for our desires of the flesh. Life would be so much easier to be of this world, but our soul desires more. Life may be hard right now, but the dawn is approaching. With the light hope is coming. He (Jesus Christ) is coming to bring us hope.
I am not religious, but this song is really awesome...
It has nothing to do with religion, but a relationship with your Maker. It's awesome you still enjoy it. : ]

It is a beautiful song, like Whirr pointed out, you can kind of take it to mean what you what. I love that about Brooke Fraser's songs.
The piano is beautiful, okay the whole song is incredibly beautiful, I know I'm going on a bit but it really is. It makes me want to stand outside at night and stare at the stars and listen to it.
I'm actually not sure how to interpret this song, or why it's called C.S. Lewis Song, but I do know that it's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, seriously.
Like undeniabledreamer said, it makes you want to just go outside and stare at the stars. But personally, I think it's one of those songs that you listen to driving down a long highway, it's got that really haunting melody that fits the mood.
It's basically entirely made up of C.S. Lewis quotes. This song combines my two loves in life, music and awesome quotes.

And God. Though that should go without saying, I'm still going to say it.

"As I wait for HOPE to come for me"....doesn't make sense to me...???
It sounds like she's an angel doing her time on earth, waiting for her prison sentence to be up, so she can be free and return back to heaven.
But she must be innocent though; i don't think she committed the crime, because she keeps going on about not belonging here.
VonLemonic, I believe she is referring to Romans 8:22-24:
VonLemonic, I believe she is referring to Romans 8:22-24:
"We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently."...

Vonlemonic: God = hope

God is our hope in a world when nothing else is satisfying
