Stranger In A Strange Land Lyrics


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 cryWhen the baby looks around him
It's such a sight to see
He shares a simple secret
With the wise manHe'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 landHow 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 comesAnd the baby looks around him
And shares his bed of hay

With the burrow in the palace of the kingHe's a stranger in a strange land
Tell me why
He's a stranger in a strange land
Just a stranger in a strange landWell, 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 brothersLeaders 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 raceStop 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 thingDo 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 childrenHe's a stranger in a strange land
Just a stranger in a strange land
