I spent too much time today    on things that don't mean much    The world around me groans under it's tyranny of touch    Every wasted thought    and every battle left unfought    All are testimony to my need of you       CHORUS       I'm a stranger in this land    Won't you take me by the hand    I can hear that distant band    But I'm still a stranger in this land       Somedays at the strangest times    I feel a sense of loss    A bite or two of stolen fruit    and we all suffer from the cost    But every longing for my home    Even when I'm not alone    Stands as testimony of the coming day       BRIDGE       All I've got to do    is to believe on You    Then every struggle seems worthwhile    I can see the promise of Your smile
