Verse 1
Drove past the sign that says ‘Welcome Home’
But the roads don’t feel like mine
The corner store’s a coffee chain
And the park’s been redesigned
Chorus
I’m a stranger in my own land
Walking streets I used to know
Every face a different story
From the one I left below
Verse 2
Mama’s kitchen smells the same
But the table’s lost a chair
My old room’s a storage space
For the things they couldn’t bear
Chorus
I’m a stranger in my own land
Walking streets I used to know
Every face a different story
From the one I left below
Bridge
Maybe home was never a place
But the people, the time, the grace
And you can’t step in the same river twice
Even when it looks like paradise
Final Verse
So I’ll sit here on the porch swing slow
Watch the fireflies come and go
I may be a stranger passing through
But this stranger still loves you
