Strange World
Beth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Like a child trying to find the answer to this life
I'm still asking questions, I'm still wondering why

We should be trying, loving, dreaming peacefully
Instead we're hiding, fighting, hating , hurting so...

Are we taking the wrong road?
Don't you think we've done enough?
'Cause I don't know what is for
I'm a stranger in a strange world

Like the sun needs the sky each day to rise
We should come together, we could at least try

We should be feeling, breathing, living peacefully
Instead we lying, crying, starving, dying so

Are we taking the wrong road?
Don't you think we've done enough?
'Cause I don't know what is for
I'm a stranger in a strange world

Can we truly justify the way we seem to live our lives
We gotta find the solution make this revolution a chance to put things right

Are we taking the wrong road?
Don't you think we've done enough?
'Cause I don't know what is for
I'm a stranger in a strange world

Are we taking the wrong road?
Don't you think we've done enough?
'Cause I don't know what is for




I'm a stranger in a strange world
A stranger in a strange world...
