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
