Reverend James Elmore Jenkins - Stranger in This World Lyrics

I spend my nights alone
Searching high searching low
I pick my fights carefully
They sit and stare at me
It's hard living a life of honesty
And that's what keeps me lonely

Stranger in this world no name no face
Dark clouds above him anytime any place
Stranger in this world never seen and never heard
He's a stranger in this world
A stranger in this world

I hear the bustling street
And the shuffling of people's feet
They all just pass me by
I say my prayer's each night
Hoping that I'll be shown the light
In the dark corner where I lie

Stranger in this world no hopes no dreams
No love to meet the day heart ripped open at the seams
Stranger in this world no refuge at all
He's a stranger in this world
A stranger in this world

The bells I hear them toll
My whole life I've played the role
Of a man in a movie with no script
And I'll always be the ghost
Tied to the whipping post
All the feelings in my soul have been stripped

Stranger in this world the one you'll never know
Moving from town to town always on the go
Stranger in this world never loved and never will be
He's a stranger in this world
A stranger in this world
