How many days has it been since I was born?
How many days until I die? Why?
Do I know any way that I can make you laugh?
Do I only know how to make you cry?
When the baby looks around him,
Such a sight to see,
He shares a simple secret with a wild man -
He's a stranger in a strange land.
(Just a) stranger in a strange land
(Tell me why a) stranger in a strange land
How many miles will it take to see the sun?
How many years until its done?
Kiss my confusion away in the night
And lay by my side when the morning comes.
And the baby looks around him,
Shares his bit of pain,
With the begger in the palace of the king -
