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
