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 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 my side when the morning comes

And the baby looks around him
And shares his bed of hay
With the burro 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, woo
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
I've got some words to say about the way we live today - why can't we learn to love each other

It's time to learn a new face to the whole world wide human race
Stop the money chase - lay back, relax and get back on the human track
Stop racing toward oblivion - oh, such a sad, sad state we're in
And that's the thing - do you recognize the bells of truth when you hear them ring
