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.
