Stranger In A Strange Land - Leon Russell

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 until 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

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

He’s a stranger in a strange land

Just a stranger in a strange land
