[Verse 1]
How many days has it been
Since I was born
How many days until I die
Do I know any ways
That I can make you laugh
Or do I only know how to make you cry
[Pre-Chorus 1]
When the baby looks around him
It's such a sight to see
He shares a simple secret
With the wise man
[Chorus]
He's a stranger in a strange land
Just a stranger in a strange land
Tell me why
He's a stranger in a strange land
Just a stranger in a strange land
[Verse 2]
How many miles will it take
To see the sun
And how many years 'til it's done
Kiss my confusion away in the night
Lay by my side when the morning comes
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And the baby looks around him
And shares his bed of hay
With the burro in the palace of the king
[Chorus]
He's a stranger in a strange land
Tell me why
He's a stranger in a strange land, woo
Just a stranger in a strange land
Just a stranger in a strange land
