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
