A Stranger On Earth - Dinah Washington

Some fools don’t know what’s right from wrong

But somehow those folks belong

Me, I travel all I’m worth

But I still remain a stranger on this earth

Some people gloom, other folks fly

Me, I got to struggle to keep alive

Ever since the day of my birth

I’ve been a stranger on earth

I try to be what all folks should

Forgetting the bad and doing good

But no matter how I try

My troubles always multiply

I’ve been living the best I can

Ever since my life began

The day is gonna come

When I don’t have to prove my worth

I won’t be a stranger on earth

I’ve been living the best I can

Ever since my life began

The day’s gonna come when

I don’t have to prove my worth

And I won’t be no stranger

Won’t be no stranger

Won’t be no stranger

On this earth
