Won't you tell me if I scream will they bend down and listen to me
 And it makes me wonder if I know the words will you call
 Or will you laugh at me
 Or will I run

 Little boy says to me,
 "Where you goin' now son"
 I said, "I don't know where I'm goin' boy
 I only know where I'm from"
 And it makes me wonder
 If the stars shine when my eyes close
 Or does my brothers heart cry
 I don't know

 I'm a stranger in my home
 Now that everybody's gone
 Someone please talk to me
 Cause I feel you cry
 And you're sitting with him
 And I know I'll never see you again

 Lying down in Charleston under the Carolina sky
 You see I'm tired of feeling this pain
 I'm tired of living my own little lie
 And it makes me wonder
 When I see you in my dreams
 Does it mean anything
 Are you trying to talk to me

 I'm a stranger in my home
 Tell me are you feeling alone
 Someone tell me what to do
 'Cause I'm feeling strong
 And I wonder how you feel
 Do you realize my pain is for real
 I see you in my dreams
 And I wonder if you're looking down at me
 And smiling right now
 I wanna know if it's true
 When he looks at me
 Won't you tell me
 Does he realize he came down here
 And he took you too soon

 And now my days are short an my nights are long
 I lay down with memories of you keep that keep me going on, going on
 It makes me wonder as I sit and stare
 Will I see your face again
 Tell me, do you care
 I'm a stranger in my home
 Living life on my own
 Right now I just can't see
 'Cause i'm feeling weak
 And my sould begins to bleed
 And no one is listening to me, not even the trees
