STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND
U2
Stranger, stranger in a
strange land,
He looked at me like I was the one who should run.
We asked him to smile for a
photograph,
We waited awhile to see if we could make him laugh.
The soldier asked for a cigarette, his smiling face I can't forget.
He looked like a boy across the street, but that's a long way here.
And I wish you were here.
And I wish you were here.
Stranger, stranger in a
strange land.
He looked at me like I was the one who should run.
I watched as he watched us
get back on the bus,
I watched the way it was.
The way it was when he was with us.
And I really don't mind sleeping on the floor,
But I couldn't sleep after what I saw.
I wrote this letter to tell you the way I feel.
I wish you were here.
To see what I could see,
to hear.
And I wish you were here.
