a stranger on earth

some fools don't know

what's right from wrong

but somehow those folks belong

me

i try for all i'm worth

but i still remain a stranger on this earth

some people gloom

other folk cry

me

i have to struggle to keep alive

ever since the day of my birth

i've been a stranger

stranger on this earth

i try to be what all folks should

forgetting the bad and doing good

but no matter how i try

my troubles always multiply

now i've been doing

the best i can

ever since life began

some day when i prove my worth

i won't be a stranger on earth

now i've been living the best i can

ever since my life began

the day's gonna come

when i prove my worth

and i won't be no stranger

no

i won't be no stranger

on this earth
