Leon Russell

[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 [Verses 3-4] Well, I don't exactly know what's going on in the world today Don't know what there is to say about the way the people are treating each other - not like brothers Leaders take us far away from ecology with mythology and astrology I've got some words to say about the way we live today - why can't we learn to love each other It's time to learn a new face to the whole world wide human race Stop the money chase - lay back, relax and get back on the human track Stop racing toward oblivion - oh, such a sad, sad state we're in And that's the thing - do you recognize the bells of truth when you hear them ring [Outro] Won't you stop and listen To the children sing (Stranger in a strange land) Won't you sing it children Won't you come on and sing it children (Stranger in a strange land) Woh-oh-oh sing it one more time, I didn't hear you (Stranger in a strange land) (Stranger in a strange land) Whoa-whoa-whoa (Stranger in a strange land) (Stranger in a strange land)
