When the Stranger Occured

public - created 05/03/06
Don't hang that sign on me
You're the stranger
Don't try to talk to me
You're the stranger
On the seas
They came from far away
From the skies
Their silver birds of prey

In one day
Ten thousand years could change
We are fools
To live your pilgrim ways

And we drive
Five hundred miles this time
To the edge
Of crystal-cut blue sky

Silence breathes
South of the border line
Silent trees
Look back and wonder why

Did father and his holy son
Spread the word and point the gun?
And where the eagle used to fly
They carve their concrete in the sky
Tearing at our mother's skin
Taking all her blood within
Remember how it used to be?

Did father and his holy son
Spread the word and point the gun
And where the eagle used to fly
They carve their concrete in the sky
Tearing at our mother's skin
Taking all her blood within
Remember how it used to be?
Stand up again and say:

Don't hang that sign on me
You're the stranger
Don't try to talk to me
You're the stranger
Don't hang that sign on me
You're the stranger
Don't try to talk to me
You're the stranger


Looking back I can still remember
The day a stranger came to town
He didn't say much of anything
So why did everybody
Try and put him down?
I must admit that he looked
A little different
Maybe we just didn't understand
I knew that he'd never
Fit into the system
But from his eyes I could
See he had a plan
There was a moment of real hesitation
They didn't like a stranger
Playing the game
But if he was faced with
That kind of situation
Wasn't that the time to make change?
But even now I remember
The way you made me feel
And I've been living with the question
Where are you now?
All Change!
As time goes by
There's one thing I have come to realize
Never let yourself force to be compromised
