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.
