Lyrics
The Strangers Like Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Whatever you do,
I'll do it too.
Show me everything
And tell me how.
It all means something,
And yet nothing to me.
I can see there is too much to learn;
It's all so close,
And yet so far.
I see myself
As people see me.
But I just know there's something bigger out there...
I want to know, can you show me?
I want to know about the strangers like me.
Tell me more, please show me.
Something's familiar
About the strangers like me.
Every gesture,
Every move that she makes,
Makes me feel like never before.
Why do I have this growing need to be beside her?
Ooh these emotions that I never knew
Of some other world far beyond this place.
Beyond the trees, above the clouds,
I see before me a new horizon.
I want to know, can you show me?
I want to know about the strangers like me.
Tell me more, please show me.
Something is familiar
About the strangers like me.
Come with me now
To see my world,
Where there's beauty beyond your dreams.
Can you feel the things I feel right now with you?
Take my hand,
There's a world I need to know.
I want to know, can you show me?
I want to know about the strangers like me.
Tell me more, please show me.
Something is familiar
About the strangers like me.
I wanna know...
