Strangers All Around

Right through my heart the piercing pain of strangers all around All I can do is surrender to their will To their love No more strangers all around What come and goes What’s said and done A lifetime alone with everyone I know I surrender to the strangers all around

I fall apart at the sight of me My heart searches for some relief My lips wondered what a gentle kiss feels like All I can do is surrender to the strangers all around Those I kept as strangers for so long No one ever showed me what real love feels like To such love I surrender to my strangers all around me

The sentimental moments of this life unfair to me only All around me surrendering to the thieves of my love To loveless lives of abounding sadness To a life of knowingly taking from me My innocence once hid me Unhappy with my situation I never looked away Until I returned to the ones I made strangers all around

I faced the blues of all I knew, of all I hurt Especially me, so see me, to face me Become familiar with the stranger I’ve created Let me back into my own heart Forgive my innocence stolen from me Strangers all around I’ve created They talked of me only with love

Strangers all around made of love Protected my innocence until I believed I broke free Their reach saved me, my strangers all around me Strangers all around created a way back home for me Once those I kept as strangers all around me
