How many days has it been Since I was born? How many days 'Til 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 'Til 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 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? Stranger in a strange land Stranger in a strange land Stranger in a strange land Stranger in a strange land Stranger in a strange land
