lyrics

THE STRANGER
lanning & hilton

CYNICAL LAUGHTER ON THE BOULEVARD
AS THE STRANGER MAKES HIS WAY
COURAGE CALLS HIM FROM THE CORNER OF
THE ONLY STREET THAT KNOWS NO PAIN

CRITICS STANDING ON THE OTHER SIDE
TEAM TO UNDERMINE THE PLAN
FAIL IN RECOGNIZING DESTINY
‘CAUSE YOUR THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN

STRANGER CAN I WALK BESIDE YOU?
CAN YOU TEACH ME IN YOUR LOVE?
WITH THE POWER THAT’S INSIDE YOU
YOU CAN SHOW ME ALL I NEED TO KNOW RIGHT NOW

ILLUSION PROVES TO BE THE COUNTERPOINT
IN THE WORLD OF PLEASURE/PAIN
THROUGH THE EYES OF THOSE WHO DO ANOINT
CHOSEN CHILDREN UNTO FAME

BUT THE STRANGER’S EYES ARE FIXED UPON
HORIZONS BETTER UNEXPLAINED
ECHOES THOUGHTS OF THOSE WHO HAVE GONE ON
SPEAKING WORDS THAT CAN’T BE NAMED

STRANGER CAN I WALK BESIDE YOU?
CAN YOU TEACH ME IN YOUR LOVE?
WITH THE POWER THAT’S INSIDE YOU
YOU CAN SHOW ME ALL I NEED TO KNOW RIGHT NOW
