Rank Strangers to Me

I wandered again to my home in the mountain

Where in youth's early dawn, I was happy and free

I looked for my friends but I never could find them

I found they were all rank strangers to meEverybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger

No mother or dad, not a friend could I see

They knew not my name and I knew not their faces

I found they were all rank strangers to me"They'd've all moved away", said the voice of a stranger

To that beautiful [Incomprehensible] that bright, crystal sea

Some beautiful day, I'll meet 'em in heaven

Where no one will be a stranger to meEverybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger

No mother or dad, not a friend could I see

They knew not my name and I knew not their faces

I found they were all rank strangers to me
