Stranger In a Foreign Land
After the hardship and the trials of the road
After the aches and pain, the dampness and the cold
After hopes were lost, and we paid the cost
For waters crossed
The strange words I hear but cannot understand
Remind me I'm a stranger in a foreign land
After hunger, sickness, death foretold
After pride and care had all been sold
After friends had gone, we pushed on
For some new dawn
The food, clothes, and sounds, customs and commands
Remind me I'm a stranger in a foreign land
After the doubts and fears that consumed our thoughts
After fights for food and shelter were fought
After numbing sights and nighttime frights
Drove us to flight
The cold thoughtless stares, with no friendly hand
Remind me I'm a stranger in a foreign land
After the aches and pain, the dampness and the cold
After hopes were lost, and we paid the cost
For waters crossed
The strange words I hear but cannot understand
Remind me I'm a stranger in a foreign land
After hunger, sickness, death foretold
After pride and care had all been sold
After friends had gone, we pushed on
For some new dawn
The food, clothes, and sounds, customs and commands
Remind me I'm a stranger in a foreign land
After the doubts and fears that consumed our thoughts
After fights for food and shelter were fought
After numbing sights and nighttime frights
Drove us to flight
The cold thoughtless stares, with no friendly hand
Remind me I'm a stranger in a foreign land
