Stranger In A Strange Land

Stranger In A Strange Land

How many days has it been since I was born
How many days until I die
Do I know any ways that I can make you laugh
Or do I only know how to make you cry

When the baby looks around him
It's such a sight to see
He shares a simple secret
With the wise man

He's a stranger in a strange land
He's a stranger in a strange land
Just a stranger in a strange land
He's a stranger in a strange land

How many miles does it take to see the sun
How many years until it's done
Kiss my confusion away in the night
Lay by my side till the morning comes

And the baby looks around him
And shares his bed of hay
With the beggar in the palace of the king

He's a stranger in a strange land
He's a stranger in a strange land
Just a stranger in a strange land
He's a stranger in a strange land

Don't know exactly what's going on in the world today
Don't know what there is to say
About the way the people are treating each other, not like brothers

Leaders take us far away from ecology with mythology and astrology
Has got some words to say about the way we live today
Why can't we learn to love each other, it's time to turn a new face
To the whole wide whole wide whole wide human race

Stop the money, chase the rain back
Relax, get back on the human track
Stop racing toward oblivion
Oh, such a sad, sad state we're in

Do you recognize the bells of truth
When you hear them ring
Stop and listen to the children sing

He's a stranger in a strange land
He's a stranger in a strange land
Just a stranger in a strange land
He's a stranger in a strange land
I'm a stranger in a strange land
