Like Foreigners
next song/previous song
In foreign tongues we learn to speak our mind
In castles high we're cruel to be unkind
We see the words but never learn the lines
That are written in between
Too far out but nowhere left to go
In waters deep but always too shallow
The fire may rage, the hurricane may blow
Then vanish in thin air
Like foreigners we travel far
Through fields of golden chances
And pastures new of what we are
Are filled with second glances
I can't revive the feeling that I've known
Don't recognize the child that I've outgrown
Can't leave the road that maybe leads to home
But never takes me there
Like foreigners..
Passing through, I wish I were
Passing through
Yes we know we're travelling far
But in foreign lands we stay
Where we are
Like foreigners..
