You may be someone else's sweetheart
Fighting someone else's war
And if you suffer for the millions
Then it's what you're fighting for

Someone believes in only light of day
Someone strong enough to show the way
Someone everyone believes in
Someone who will stand by you

And I will be your heart and mind
My love is on the line
I know it's how I'm gonna stay
For a stranger in a strange land far away

And love will make your spirit shine
I feel your hand in mine
I write a letter every single day
To a stranger in a strange land far away

May we share the most tomorrows
I will hear you when you cry
Should we let it come between us
Never knowing how we live or die

I will walk you through the pouring rain
I will help you learn to live and love again
Give 'em hell before you go to heaven
But send you home again

And I will be your heart and mind
My love is on the line
I know it's how I'm gonna stay
To a stranger in a strange land far away

And somewhere in the lonely night
Your flame is burning bright
I know it's how I'm gonna stay
For a stranger in a strange land far away

And just to see your spirit shine
To feel your hand in mine
I write a letter every single day
To a stranger in a strange land far away

Far away, far away
