Intro
then single note run
How many days has it been since I was born?
How many days until I die? Why?
Do I know any way that I can make you laugh?
Do I only know how to make you cry?
When the baby looks around him,
Such a sight to see,
He shares a simple secret with a wild man -
Chorus
He's a stranger in a strange land.
(Just a) stranger in a strange land
(Tell me why a) stranger in a strange land
fill between
Verses
Woah - a Stranger in a strange land
How many miles will it take to see the sun?
How many years until its done?
Kiss my confusion away in the night
And lay by my side when the morning comes.
And the baby looks around him,
Shares his bit of pain,
With the begger in the palace of the king -
Chorus
Outro
sung/spoken over
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 treatin' each other , not like brothers.
Leaders take us far away from Ecology with Mythology and Astrology
I've got the world to say about the way we love today
Why can't we learn to love each other
And try to learn a new faith to the whole world wide human race
Stop the mud and chase the rain back, relax and get back on the human
track
Stop racing into oblivion, oh such a sad sad state we're in
It's not the same - do you recognize and tell the truth when you hear it
reign
Won't you stop and listen to the children sing? Won't you sing it
children?
Chorus starts, vocal continues with:
Won't you come on and sing it children
(sing it one more time, i didn't hear ya)
