Lyrics

I'm an alien in this foreign land
faces and voices I can't comprehend
wandering the maze of this wild, rushing crowd
people talking at me, screaming at me
so frightening and so loud

this place is not my home, I don't belong here
can't seem to get along here
it's a strange road to travel
this place is not my home, but I want to stay here
I want to make my way here
with hope for a better tomorrow

I try to understand the people and their ways
(their) words and (their) expressions
the message they convey
listening and hearing but often confusing the terms
I get the definitions but not what they infer

this place is not my home, I don't belong here
can't seem to get along here
it's a strange road to travel
this place is not my home, but I want to stay here
I want to make my way here
with hope for a better tomorrow

a country filled with somewhat familiar signs
symbols and meanings of disparate design
like trying to read a road map
in a faint and flickering light
in spite of my best efforts I seldom get it right

this place is not my home, I don't belong here
can't seem to get along here
it's a strange road to travel
this place is not my home, but I want to stay here
I want to make my way here
with hope for a better tomorrow
