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

On this earth.
