Stranger, Stranger in a strange land
July 17th, 2007
I was listening to the old U2 album - October, and thought they should release this song in protest at the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It seems very fitting.
Stranger, Stranger in a strange land,
He looked at me like I
Was the one who should run.
We asked him to smile for a photograph,
Waited a while to see if we could make him laugh.
Oh…oh…
A soldier asked for a cigarette,
His smiling face I can’t forget,
He looked like me across the street,
But that’s a long way here.
Oh…oh…
And I wish you were here
Oooh, and I wish you were here
Oh…oh…
Stranger, A stranger in a strange land,
He look at me like I
Was the one who should run.
I watched as he watched us get back on the bus,
I watched the way it was,
The way it was when he was with us.
And I really don’t mind,
Sleeping on the floor,
But I couldn’t sleep after what I saw.
I wrote this letter to tell you,
The way I feel.
Oooh, I wish you were here
Oooh, I wish you were here
To see what I could see
To hear
And I wish you were here
