lirik lagu leon russell – stranger in a strange land (2001 recording)
[verse 1]
how many years has it been since i was born
how many days until i die
do i know any ways that i can make you laugh
do i only know how to make you cry
[pre-chorus 1]
when the baby looks around him
it’s such a sight to see
he shares a simple secret with the wise man
[chorus]
yes he was a stranger in a strange land
said he was a stranger in a strange land
stranger in a strange land
i said he was a stranger in a strange land
[verse 2]
how many years is it gonna take to see the sun
how many miles ’til it’s done
kiss my confusion away in the night
lay by my side when the morning comes
[pre-chorus 2]
and the baby looks around him
shares a little bed of hay
with the burrow in the palace of the king
[chorus]
well lord he was a stranger in a strange land
he was a stranger in a strange land
stranger in a strange land
a stranger in a strange land
[verses 3-4]
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
try 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 towards oblivion – 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
[outro]
yes he was a stranger in a strange land
yes he was a stranger in a strange land
stranger in a strange land
yes he was a stranger in a strange land
