Songs Of Belonging, Vol. 1

If we're honest, we all feel a sense of belonging. Our heart's desire is to belong to someone, to something – to be part of and not apart from. These songs, and the songs that follow in Vol. 2, speak to that feeling. While each song has the word "Belong" or some  form of it in its title, the overarching theme of belonging is also ever-present. Enjoy!  ~  JH
