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 a stranger.
