The first thing I notice is the title. "I Must Belong Somewhere", while implying the theme of the entire song, is never directly mentioned in the song itself, which I suppose suggests it is unnecessary for his main point for the song. His main point however, centers around man's place in the universe is not to stand apart, as we are already apart of it and require no change.
There are many different poetic techniques he uses to reinforce this message one being the rhyme scheme throughout the poem. One specifically is repetition of "leave at the beginning of a good portion of the poem(yes I am aware of it being a song, but its incomprehensibility suggests it leans more towards the the poetic stage). This repetition is more properly known as "anaphora" which is used in various poems and songs that may as well be poems to stress the importance of a word to the main idea of the entire work. "Leave" taken purely denotative would fit the main idea suggested in the fact that he would be telling the reader or possibly a specific person to simply live and let live, or that they are find where they are. The connotative meaning however, adds a further dimension of possibility for the reason of the stress on "leave".
Another poetic device used in this song is the repetition of the word "somewhere" on three lines in the same stanza, three times in the entire text. This is know as "epistrophe" and like anaphora, is used to emphasize a particular phrase because of its importance to the overall story. In this case I suppose he is trying to say whether or not you can see it, their is a place for these people where they'll be happy. This may also be used to strengthen the song's overall connection to the title.
In review, the poem has several poetic devices, all used towards the goal of getting a point to the audience, whether that audience is the reader or a person in the writer's life
