Lyrics for The Stranger From Within
He's a stranger; I don't know where he's coming from Is he a danger to me or just another man? He knows magic! Or maybe he's a charlatan? Is it a sly trick he plays? Does he have a plan? He said he came from a world beyond my dreams From the depths of my mind He said he'd burn like a star and disappear But leave his spirit behind He's a stranger, a man with a destiny A rearranger of fate, a changer of lives They will erase him for they are all afraid of him They're gonna trace him, and then Cause him to die He said he'd cure me; I do not have to die! I hold my fate in my hands He said he'd always be there every time I'd cry One day I would understand He was a stranger They shot him, and now he's dead I'm out of danger; he lives on Inside my head He said he came from a world beyond my dreams From the depths of my mind He said he'd burn like a star and disappear But leave his spirit behind He said he'd cure me; I do not have to die! I hold my fate in my hands He said he'd always be there every time I'd cry One day I would understand
