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
