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 smile
Or do I only know how to make you cry

When the baby looks around him
It's such a sight to see
He shares a simple secret
With the wise man

He's a stranger in a strange land
He's a stranger in a strange land
He's a stranger in a strange land
Just a stranger in a strange land

How many miles will it take to reach the sun
And how many years 'til it's done
Kiss my confusion away in the night
If you stay with me when the morning comes

And the baby looks around him
And shares his bed of hay
With the burro in the palace of the king

He's a stranger in a strange land
He's a stranger in a strange land
He's a stranger in a strange land
He's a stranger in a strange land
