[Verse 1]
I was once a stranger here
Running from a land of fear
Left my home and friends behind
Left the love I knew was mine
I was once a stranger here

[Verse 2]
Did not know a single word
Only knew what I had heard
Land of opportunity
Built by people just like me
I was once a stranger here

[Bridge]
In my old town, there’s a lot of fear
One wrong word and you disappear
No one dares shed a single tear
It gets smaller every year

[Verse 3]
Now I have to leave again
Leave my family, leave my friends
Don’t know where they’re sending me
Only know that I will be
A stranger there
Yes, I will be a stranger there
