A Stranger's Song

I've been wandering in circles
For way too long
I don't know where to go
To find my way back home
And I feel like a stranger
When I'm wandering down the street
If home is where your heart is
Where would mine be?

And it feels like I'm walking
Through the valley of the shadow of death
And it's a bitter place
Full of fears and regrets
Promise to be with me
When I'm wandering through this life
And for the first time
I've finally realized
How much I need you

This world is a cruel place
Where the innocent pay the price
And our flood of compassion
Is running dry
And narcissism
Is this worlds religion
The holy trinity
Of me, I and mine

And we turn our heads away from the ones that suffer and bleed
To afraid to reach out a hand to the ones in need
Please forgive us
We carry pride like a disease
And for the first time
It finally crossed my mind

We are the children of our time
Living in the midst of our so called prime
Everybody's insecure
No one knows what for
We've got enough
But still I just want more and more and more
What does it mean to be free?
Is it something we'll ever be?
Who am I?
Who are you?
We're acting fine but we're both good at faking it too

When you're wandering around with no direction home
You're stuck here singing this strangers song
A lot of people meet you when your walking down the street
But none of them could ever fill your needs
When you're wandering around with no direction home
You're stuck here singing this strangers song

Guess you are
And always will be
A stranger
