[Verse 1]
Am G Am A stranger I lived in the world Am E7 Am A foreigner like my forefathers Am G Am A pilgrim in my attitude Am Em Am In my thoughts and my desires Am G A Stranger, I have no one to Dm7 E7 Unload on him, my thoughts so true
[Verse 2]
Am G Am The people do not like my roots Am E7 Am Nor do they understand my end Am G Em In craze arise the multitude E7 Am Em In maddening noise without an end Am G Em And I remain in solitude Em E7 Am Serenity in my heart felt Am G A stranger, I can find no home Dm7 E7 Nor a corner to rest alone
[Verse 3]
Am G Am I cast away the world's pleasures Am E7 Am Ignoring her callings to me Am G Em I went, I dragged away my things E7 Am G Away from their merry-makings Am G Em My heart silent, indifferent Em E7 Am To all they think is important Am G My listening will never yield Dm7 E7 To loud and worldly conversing
[Verse 4]
Am G Am I wander off all on my own Am E7 Am So happy to be in the vast Am G Em With my timbrel and my cymbal E7 Am Em And melodies of praise I sing Am G Em And now comes the holy moment Em E7 Am In which I Retreat with my King Am Em I roam about as a spirit Dm7 Em Invisible to on-lookers Am G The world alien I am to it Dm7 E7 A foreigner like my forefathers
[Verse 5]
Am G Am My existence is a triumph Am E7 Am No wealth, power to disturb me Am G Em No house is here to delay me E7 Am Em Nor any friend or family Am G Em And with me are sweet verses Em E7 Am And great proverbs to console me Am G The Bible here my only lamp Dm7 E7 And nothing else to concern me
[Verse 6]
Am G Am I do not know of any fear Am E7 Am Nor any bonds that hinder me Am G Em No longer does the world rule me E7 Am Em Against me and at times for me Am G Em No longer does the world rule me Em E7 Am Against me and at times for me Am G I say to every enemy Dm7 Em Who only wants to seduce me Am G Beware that now I am alive Dm7 E7 A stranger as were my fathers
