Some fools don't know what's right from wrong,

But somehow those folks belong.

Me, I travel all I'm worth,

But I still remain a stranger on this earth.



Some people gloom, other folks fly.

Me, I got to struggle to keep alive.

Ever since the day of my birth,

I've been a stranger on 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.

I've been living the best I can

Ever since my life began.

The day is gonna come

When I don't have to prove my worth

I won't be a stranger on earth.



I've been living the best I can

Ever since my life began.

The day's gonna come when

I don't have to prove my worth

And I won't be no stranger,

Won't be no stranger

Won't be no stranger

On this earth.
