| 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
|
| Just a stranger in a strange land
|
| Tell me why
|
| He’s a stranger in a strange land
|
| Just a stranger in a strange land
|
| How many miles will it take
|
| To see the sun
|
| And how many years until it’s done
|
| Kiss my confusion away in the night
|
| Lay by side when the morning comes
|
| And the baby looks around him
|
| And shares his bed of hay
|
| With the burrow in the palace of the king
|
| He’s a stranger in a strange land
|
| Tell me why
|
| He’s a stranger in a strange land
|
| Just a stranger in a strange land
|
| Well, I don’t exactly know
|
| 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 world wide human race
|
| Stop the money chase
|
| Lay back, relax
|
| Get back on the human track
|
| Stop racing toward oblivion
|
| Oh, such a sad, sad state we’re in And that’s a thing
|
| Do you recognize the bells of truth
|
| When you hear them ring
|
| Won’t you stop and listen
|
| To the children sing
|
| Won’t you come on and sing it children
|
| He’s a stranger in a strange land
|
| Just a stranger in a strange land |
